It's a scam, I've heard of it many times...

The "Job Recruitment/Work in a Hotel" Scam
This is a twist. Instead of going after the "rich" people I noticed that these scammers mostly use this tactic to those people from poor countries such as African countries, India and Pakistan. An individual will tell people that she/he works or has connections in a hotel (usually based in Canada) and the said hotel is currently hiring. They will conduct "interviews" via email and you will just have to answer simple questions. You will be then referred to a lawyer/immigration officer. You will be asked to send personal documents such as a copy of your passport and Social Security number (who knows what they could do with these information?) and pay fees to process your visa application. More and more fees will be asked from you and fake documents will be provided to you. The reality is there's no job opening, no visa processing being done and the said scammers are not even based in Canada (or whatever country) but mostly from Africa.

Here's an example of an email sent by a scammer:
