It sounds like a scam. You'll need to provide more information to us.

Have you paid someone money in exchange for the job offer? Have they offered to cover your accommodations, food, and/or travel? If so, it's a scam.

I agree with scylla; it sounds swampy.

Just to add, any legitimate government agency would contact you through mail or e-mail nowadays, or if you live outside of Canada and the US through the Canadian embassy or consulate, to create a correspondence record that can be referenced if there is a dispute between both parties. Any other method should be treated very suspiciously or disregarded.

If you need to verify if the agency tried to contact you, you could try to contact the agency by looking up the contact information on the agency's official website, or if you like outside Canada or the US, you can ask the embassy or consulate.
