International students in Canada are reporting that they have been targets of a re-emerging telephone scam whereby individuals claiming to be employees of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) are asking them for personal information and/or money or risk deportation. In more sophisticated versions of the scam, the individual also poses as a representative of the university as well.
More information on this scam has been posted on the International Student Services Office (ISSO) website in the News Section: https://carleton.ca/isso/2019/re-emerging-telephone-scam-targeting-international-students/
