Looking at the number of illegal cases happening on front of "Citizenship status", Government has now started involving common citizens to trap the fraudsters.
(prHWY.com) October 1, 2012 - Avenue Surrey BC, Canada -- A year back, Government of Canada had offered a new tip line through Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC). Here, tips on any suspected fraud case could be reported.
In this regard, Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said that "Citizenship is not for sale and I encourage all to report a fraudster by calling our tip line."

He assured that his department will investigate all the tips and appropriate action will be taken.
Any measure which an applicant adopts to prove his residency status will be termed as fraud. There are cases when people submit false documents regarding their residency status, period of stay, address and other details to obtain "citizenship status" will be convicted.
Such cases can be reported over the phone or an email can also be sent to the concerned department.
In spite of so many assurances from the government and the concerned department, a little more than 4,000 calls have been made to the Department till now. Out of these calls about 100 odd cases are strong enough to carry on with further investigation.
Anyone coming across a suspect who has adopted unfair means to enjoy the status of "citizenship" can be reported against. If people come to know about any individual who has crossed the border illegally and is present in the nation without adopting legal measures then such a case is quite valid to be reported.
Sometimes people do not make an attempt to report such cases merely because they think that it's not strong enough to be reported.

Can somebody get victimized?
The Department on receiving complaint against any of the suspected individual will proceed further if there is enough evidence. The cases will be studied and understood individually rather than applying blanket solution to the whole information.
So, there is no possibility that a person who has obtained citizenship legally and through fair means will be victimized for no reasons.
If somebody wants to play foul and report against a person out of personal rivalry, such case will get negated in the absence of enough evidence.
In fact, the caller would be required to supply certain basic information about the suspect so that the case can be taken forward.
What are the possible consequences?
If someone is found to be enjoying citizenship legally then he would not be disturbed by the Immigration Department.
If the charges against the suspect are proven to be correct then he may face deportation, or imprisonment or even criminal charges may be lodged against the fraudster.
