Tip line opened in canada for citizenship fraud

The Government of Canada is cracking down on citizenship fraud and has opened a tip line where cases can be reported, Citizenship and Immigration minister Jason Kenney has announced.

The line is provided via the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) Call Centre where tips on suspected citizenship fraud cases might be reported.

‘Canadian citizenship is not for sale.I encourage anyone who has information regarding citizenship fraud to call our tip line. My department will ensure that all tips are investigated and that appropriate action is taken,’ said Kenney.

Cases involving false representation, fraud or knowingly concealing material circumstances in the citizenship process, for example, pretending to be present in Canada to meet the residence requirements for obtaining citizenship, should be referred to the citizenship fraud tip line at CIC’s Call Centre at 1-888-242-2100 which is open 7:00am to 7:00 pm, Eastern Time, Monday to Friday.
