Almost certainly fake. However, please provide the job offer letter here with your personal information removed from it and then we can advise you better.

Agree one of the most hilarious scam ofers ever posted.

Seeing this I was thinking about posting that anyone who wants to come to Canada needs to have a tattoo of the Canadian flag on their wrist to show they are committed to immigration and to pay a tattoo artist I recommend to do it. What do you think are there enough gullible people out there to think this would be true ?

About as ridiculous as this job offer and obviously a joke.

But there's some serious science behind these ridiculous offers.

https://www.businessinsider.com/why-nigerian-scam-emails-are-obvious-2014-5

Therefore, it's in the scammers' best interest to minimize the number of false positives who cost them effort but never send them cash. By sending an initial email that's obvious in its shortcomings, the scammers are isolating the most gullible targets. If you trash their email, that's fine. They don't want you, someone from whom there's virtually no chance of receiving any money. They want people who, faced with a ridiculous email, still don't recognize its illegitimacy.

this is all fraud and fake. Company name is genuine, but fake people onbehalf of this company approaching the clients through job opportunity and then will be demanding money by way of visa and other travelling expenses.

So, Please do not pay any money for this or other company also. See Compnay if demanding money is totally fake.

BE CAREFUL.
