1. Ask questions if a company asks for a fee

A company that asks for a fee might be trying to trick you into giving them money. They might not have jobs to offer.

So find out as much as you can about the company that's asking you to pay a fee. For example, try to find out the full name of the company's contact person, the business address, website address, and phone number.

Don't give them your Social Insurance Number (SIN) or other personal information unless you're sure it's safe for you to do this.
