I agree. I think this is a scam. Especially if Cathy Ranch and Farm is involved.

The Flourish Hotel web site looks like a typical scam web site too:

Oh god, when i tried to google the address, it seems like being altered. When called the employer many times, no answer. I am very worried and the agent there has bought an air ticket for me. Question is, they never demand any money from me, all payment was made directly to Ministry of Quebec. But i was wondering if this is really a scam, what will happen to us when we reach there Quebec.

The reply from HRSDC was, CAQ successfully issued. Please proceed to apply for work permit. Then later Immigration clearance, i was wondering if it is true. I sympathize my applicants as they leave their country to work in Quebec for better pay. I really hope there is any kind Samaritans out there to help me verify them. I have their employment contract and samples etc.

Thanks people for all your help and advise.

I manage to find out that is all a scam. I have learnt my lesson from this incident. Thanked God that we have not fly to canada and money paid was not much. Usd 1000 only....

Caq@hrsdc-cic-gc.ca does not even exist. Its a scam of all.

How can i report this matter?? I am very pissed and dissapointed at the same time.

This is NOT a government of Quebec or Canada email address. So the money you sent to Quebec didn't really go there.

Look at this: http://www.hrsdc-cic-gc.ca/

That website is FAKE. It is NOT Service Canada's website. If you look at the bottom of the page it says "VFS Global Services" as part of the copyright. VFS is a subcontractor if CIC in some countries such as India but this is NOT their website. So whoever is doing this is committing fraud against both the government of Canada and VFS.

Here's a hint for everyone looking at websites for Service Canada and Citizenship and Immigration Canada. First of all the two departments do NOT have ANY websites that combine both departments. That email address and web address are combining both. HRSDC means Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (also known as Service Canada which is a sub-department of HRSDC). CIC means Citizenship and Immigration Canada. Two SEPARATE departments of the Canadian government. They only overlap in a few areas such as work permits/LMOs and Arranged Employment Opinion/Skilled Worker. That's it. Each department has different functions and responsibilities and only work in conjunction on a few things.

Secondly, and this was what gave it away immediately for me, the Government of Canada NEVER uses dashes "-" in ANY of its websites or email addresses EXCEPT where combining the English and French acronyms. For example, the home website address for HRSDC in French is www.rhdcc-hrsdc.gc.ca RHDCC means Ressources humaines et Développement des compétences Canada. Canadian government websites use dots "." and all email addresses and websites for HRSDC and CIC end with .gc.ca

For Quebec, their government websites end with gouv.qc.ca
This is the official website of the Government of Quebec regarding immigration and the page related to fees for temporary foreign workers. http://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/immigrate-settle/temporary-workers/obtaining-authorizations/fees.html
Did you send international money orders? How do you know the fees paid went directly to the government of Quebec?


I'm sorry. I think you have been scammed.

I'm very sorry you were scammed.

It's best not to use an agent and apply for jobs directly with employers (this is the best way of avoiding getting scammed). You can try sites such as the Canadian Job Bank and monster.ca.

Good luck.
