September 1, 2023

Some members of the public have received repeat fraudulent calls from an OINP phone number (416-327-0374) requesting they update their temporary resident documents or other personal immigration information. These calls are not being made by OINP staff. This may be a case of Caller ID spoofing which is used by an individual to disguise their phone number to appear as someone else.

The OINP will never contact a client by phone to either:

collect funds
inquire about your immigration status
update your personal information

Never give out personal information in response to an unexpected call, such as:

account numbers
social insurance numbers (SIN)
mother’s maiden name
passwords
other identifying information

If you have never applied to the OINP, we can confirm this call is not from the program. If you have applied and have concerns about the legitimacy of a call from the program, you should:

Ask for the name of the agent calling.
Email the OINP at ontarionominee@ontario.ca to confirm whether the call was genuine.

If you receive a telephone call from an OINP phone number demanding payment or the sharing of personal information, you should:

Hang up immediately.
Contact your local police.
Notify the OINP.

You may also report the incident online to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre or by telephone at 1-888-495-8501.
