It is said that those two institutions are recruiting various profiles who will migrate and work in Canada. True?

A job ad published recently claims that there is an opportunity to work and live in Canada. According to the body of this ad full of errors, “the UN and SONARA in particular, along with other companies launched a program to recruit staffs in all categories (…) without discrimination of race, nationality and sex”.

This recruitment is aimed at “any legal person ready to travel and settle in Canada”.

39 posts are to be filled, according to the ad. To submit a candidacy, the required elements such as a cover letter addressed to SONARA’s human resources manager, a CV, a copy of the degrees obtained as well as a copy of the ID card and passport are to be sent to Cette adresse e-mail est protégée contre les robots spammeurs.

Scam

It is a scam that has nothing to do with the UN or SONARA.

Even though Cette adresse e-mail est protégée contre les robots spammeurs.

Those services are frequently used by scammers to devise scam schemes on classified sites or by mail".

The domain name consultant.com is for instance on the list of addresses frequently used by scammers. This list is available on the French website  www.commentcamarche.net

The contacts of the UN human resources management is not those mentioned in the ad. Staff-related inquiries or comments must always be sent via their contact form or via its HR Portal. For open vacancies, it is better to visit the career portal.
