Was it the company that gave you the email address of the embassy? Or how did you find the email address of the embassy? Was it the email with gc-c.cc that you sent email to and go this reply? Help us understand how this potential scam originated

You should be careful with the company. That email address ending with gc-c.cc doesn’t belong to the Canadian embassy. Canadian embassy official emails should end with gc.ca

I won’t paste any website address here, please Google “Canadian High Commission Abuja” yourself and see their official website and contact information
Re: Is This Email Truly From Canadian Embassy In Abuja Or Is It A Scam?? by Lucas4903: 5:42pm On Jan 09, 2022

For Canada applications, work permit, study permit or visitation. You will only get biometrics instruction letter after you've applied. And you will pay all fees online before submitting your application.


Their contacts also end with gc.ca

Please take time to read the comments so far. If you had read them, you won't bother to bring yours online because they are same.

In a nutshell, don't fall for it, scammers are at it again.

Your mail and OP mail were from fraudsters- useless bunch of idiots causing pains to innocent people.
