Is It Possible to Forge a Canadian Visa?

Yes—but it is useless. Unfortunately, forging a Canadian visa is one of the methods used in immigration fraud. However, in practice, it is not possible to enter Canada with a fake visa.

Some fraudulent immigration agencies, after collecting large sums of money from their clients, ask them to submit their passports under the pretext of handling the Canadian visa “pickup” process. These agencies then return the passport to the client with a forged Canadian visa.

Fake Canadian visas can look very similar to genuine and valid visas. However, presenting a forged visa is illegal and may be considered illegal immigration to Canada. Distinguishing between a real and a fake visa is often difficult.
That said, by learning how to identify the signs of a fake visa, you can reduce the risk of falling victim to this serious form of fraud.
