Reporting fraud, abuse or misuse

Service Canada takes abuse of the programs it delivers very seriously. When an individual or business receives benefits by providing false or misleading information, the integrity of the programs we deliver is jeopardized.

Reporting someone who may be committing benefit fraud, helps us protect the integrity of the Employment Insurance (EI), the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and the Old Age Security (OAS) programs.

Protecting your identity is another way you can help prevent fraud. If you know about someone who may be using a false identity or a false Social Insurance Number (SIN), let us know right away.

When you report abuse or misuse of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), you are also helping to protect the integrity of TFWP and the Canadian labour market.
