After discovering that the admission offer letters from their educational institution were false, more than 700 Indian students could be expelled from Canada. When the pupils filed for Canadian permanent status, the deception was revealed. These letters were false, according to the Canadian Border Service Agency (CBSA), which investigated the supporting documentation used to issue their visas. The majority of the students arrived in Canada to attend school in 2018 and 2019. Many of them had already finished their education, obtained work authorizations, and accumulated experience in Canada. The kids had sought study visas through Education Migration Services, which is based in Jalandhar, according to the Toronto Star. Brijesh Mishra, the director of the consulting company, charged students thousands of dollars to cover the costs of completing their college and visa applications as well as tuition. Mishra “has vanished” and the company’s Jalandhar office has been shut down. The only individuals legally permitted to provide immigration advice and services for a charge are licenced solicitors and consultants listed with the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultant (CICC). Additionally, education agents must hold a CICC licence. Sadly, some education agents prey on students seeking to study and work in Canada in order to gain a chance at permanent residency. These agents accept payment in cash, do not sign a contract, and are not licenced. “Every once in a while, you do see bad actors, particularly from other parts of the world, who are difficult to police from Canada, who seek to take advantage of international students. It’s disgusting to see the behaviour of some of the promoters around the world” said Immigration Minister Sean Fraser to a community radio program.
