TRV visa cancelled from CIC canada
- Thread starter kfay2019

Whats incredible ? The fact that CIC have cancelled a visa based on an email address and a post in a public forum in which case I would agree incredible?
This thread has been going for a couple of weeks now in multiple sections of this forum and many replies have implied that perhaps this is some sort of phishing scam given apart from anything else the email address that sent this cancellation does not map to the CIC email address on the Riyadh site for Canada immigration.

The posted copy of the email shows no detail other than the email address of the friend so is hard to believe that CIC cancels visas based just on an email address as opposed to passport/ visa reference numbers which they would need to do given who uses an email address to enter a country.
A number of replies have queried whether any other detail was included in the email other than just email address but so far no confirmation from the OP. Plus is the family name of the friend actually Sheikh given the email was addressed as Dear Mr Sheikh ?
Plus does anyone really think that CIC has resources to randomly scan forums and social media to randomly cancel visas, unless there is more to this than we all here know that kicked off a specific investigation of this friend.
Advice was given to instead of replying to the questionable email address use the official web form on the CIC Riyadh website to see what they say about the friends visa status.
Ultimately though there was 10 days to sort it out from the original email Jan 24 hence seems too late now to get a positive outcome if the cancellation is genuine. Nothing to lose now apart from the fee to either use the official web form to query status or apply again or consult an immigration lawyer to resolve

Ok we are on same page hence all the replies that still question whether this is all real or some elaborate scam / phishing attempt especially as the OP has not said if any info such as passport numbers or visa numbers were included in the original email. All information that CIC would normally include in such a communication not just an email address. CIC would possibly include some sort of case number to be quoted in any reply as well if not passport/visa numbers.
yeah you are right
im agree your point even he call riyadh embassy and he want to visit them but they told him that you have to reply same email whaat you received
how this possible?\
This is the second time in less than one week that two entire threads on this topic, in the Visitors section - and which had a number of pertinent, logical replies - has been relegated to the virtual black hole. Deleted. Gone
What's your take on all of this?This is the second time in less than one week that two entire threads on this topic, in the Visitors section - and which had a number of pertinent, logical replies - has been relegated to the virtual black hole. Deleted. Gone
On the possible phishing email? Or the affinity of the thread in Visitors section for the virtual black hole?
guess that sums it up. I don't know why i have a niggling feeling that the email is legit. Or the phisher is really really convincing.
This is probably the post that IRCC is referring to. (I am aware that it's been referred to in other threads. Just maintaining context in this one.)

THIS EMAIL IS FAKE
A ) Visa refusals are given via Letter (not email)
B ) Correct email is riyadh.visa@international.gc.ca . You have posted email with spelling mistake as well as punctuation mark ( See IRCC's official website -> https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/contact-ircc/offices/international-visa-offices/riyadh.html )
C) Canadian Immigration do not refuse visas solely based on information posted by any user in open domain. Any user can create any username and post information while impersonating anyone. Therefore, they don't refuse applicants as such.
