The target is also Canadians. Not immigrants based overseas.

Hope Canadians smarten up and not get scammed anymore.
An example of what is being targeted by the joint operations between Canada and other countries where these scammers primarily operate.

I would hope that anyone regardless of citizenship doesn't get scammed but unfortunately, there will always be uneducated/desperate/scared/gullible/etc. people and the people who want to take advantage of that.

Unfortunately a worldwide problem .

But focusing on Canada immigration anyone who can use a computer can help themselves with a few google searches to get some clues as to whether an offer is fake or not. Always amazes me when people post a copy of an offer with a website link, a hotel for example, and when accessing the link they are not suspicious seeing pictures of either a beach in Calgary or a tropical scene complete with palms say in downtown Toronto. Yet still they need to ask this forum fake or not.

Obviously a fake and these days would hopefully assume in Australia the following would probably not be allowed in job posting let alone basing a position on a specific gender, in this case assume female

Type of Visa ( Work Permit) Dress Code: Short Jacket, Deep neck shirt and Skirt
Hope these details serve the purpose. Kindly provide your full size pictures along with your height weight and appearance details as the client has 60% technical requirement and 40% appearance requirement.


I mean what does 40% even mean for appearance unless on dating website Tinder.

Generally any job offers for Oil/Gas, hotels and construction tend to be fake plus why would any company in this case look for a PA from outside of either country when there are likely plenty of people who would qualify already resident..

The person who's the agent and the one who's doing the process showed their credibility and I asked him and researched about the BG and all. He seems genuine, he said

You requested our opinions, which appear to be that this is most likely to be a scam.
The final decision is up to you but we would like to know how this turns out for you.

Genuine but offering an immigration shopping list Canada or Australia and not willing to share the name of the employing company plus rarely if ever does a company provide accommodation unless a live in position for example.

Assume you also checked the average PA salary in Canada 50-60k not 100k. Australia average around 60-65k not 120k.

Guess you were suspicious but if you still think is genuine then good luck and hope you meet the 40 percent appearance benchmark

Please don't be gullible and fall for this. So many red flags there.

You can pursue it. Just dont pay him any money at all.

Oil and gas in Canada is in the doldrums right now and I dont see anyone paying CAD8500 for a personal assistant.

It is still a very obvious fake. If you continue, you will lose money.
