The Government of Canada (GOC) has been made aware of false information directed to displaced Syrians wanting to be resettled to Canada.
Canada does not charge application fees for refugees to be resettled nor does the government collect fees from refugees in advance of arrival to Canada.
Notices asking you to deposit money, which will later be refunded, are false and do not come from the GOC.
You should also know that to be resettled to Canada, a person must be referred to the Government by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) or from recognized and approved sponsorship groups in Canada. Neither the UNHCR nor private sponsors charge refugees for the application.
Syrians in Lebanon who feel they are in need of international protection should register with the UNHCR. Syrians in Turkey should register with the Government of Turkey. Registration with the proper authorities is the first step in receiving protection.
Don’t be a victim of fraud.
