I (Vancouver-born) get the calls from Immigration Canada too - I only know this because I have to ask my Chinese coworkers what the recording on the other end of the line is saying. You'd think they'd at least throw in a little English or French to make it sound convincing...

There’s an English language Immigration Department scam that seems to be targeted. The Chinese one is not targeted at all.

I find the CRA generic English names funny. Typical scammers go by “James Morrison” or “Derek Johnson”. The real feds have names more like Jean-François Pelletier.
