“I live in Canada as a permanent resident and had to renew my PR Card (can’t travel outside of the country without it — or, more importantly, can’t get back in). So I went to the federal government’s website, did my thing, and clicked the link to pay the processing fee. Many months pass. A vacation I’ve already paid for is coming up fast, and I still have no card.”
“With less than a month to go, the government mailed back my renewal application, informing me it’s been rejected because the payment didn’t go through. The link turned out to be a scam—on a government website! Despite my best efforts, I couldn’t renew the card in time and had to skip the vacation. I never got my money back, either.”
