Cybercriminals tend to target the most vulnerable people, making newcomers to our country and international students all the more susceptible to scams and frauds. In this episode of C Suite, Claudette explores the cyber and real-world threats to Canadian newcomers. Frauds and scams can begin as early as the immigration process, and they continue after newcomers land in Canada to start their new lives. In this episode, listeners will learn about some of the most common scams targeting newcomers to Canada like fraudulent promises of guaranteed work permits, student visas being peddled by unscrupulous immigration agencies, and even deportation threats made against students by fake Service Canada staff members. To inform the discussion, Claudette sits down with expert guests Joshua Schachnow, the Founder and CEO of Visto.ai, and Nouhaila Chelkhaoui, the founder and CEO of Scale Without Borders. She also speaks with Mrinal, an international student who was the target of a scam on his first day at the University of Windsor.
