Official Organizations To Denounce Violating Immigration Laws

In Canada, there are three official organizations that handle reports and denunciations related to “people without status,” “undocumented migrants,” or “individuals violating immigration laws.”

Here’s a clear breakdown 👇

What to report:

  • People overstaying their visas or permits

  • Individuals working or studying without authorization

  • Fraudulent documents or identity misuse

  • Human smuggling or illegal entry


How to report:

🔸 CBSA is the primary point of contact for most immigration law violations.

📝 2. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)

👉 Handles fraud, misrepresentation, and misuse of the immigration system.

What to report:

  • Fake documents (e.g., passports, visas, marriage certificates)

  • False information in immigration applications

  • Misuse of Canadian immigration programs

  • Unauthorized immigration representatives or consultants

How to report:

🕵️‍♂️ 3. Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC)
