These are probably useful links to check out if you're planning on immigrating.

I didn't immigrate into Canada, but I can tell you that when I immigrated to the US, no one ever called ME. I called THEM when I needed to, and I called numbers only after I was prompted to via a piece of US mail from the immigration department.
I did get several calls from not legitimate industries, trying to get me to pay them the standard visa fee, but luckily, I did serious research, and knew that the US government operates via US mail (save for the line you can call for expedited service payments).
Again, I immigrated to the United States from Israel, and I know things differ from place to place, but do your research before you hand over your information. There are lots of sharks in the waters.
