When they got deportation letters from the Canadian Border Security Agency, it came as a nasty shock to them. Most of the bogus offer letters during 2017u201319 were furnished by an on the run immigration agent from Jalandhar who reportedly charged Rs 16 lakh per student for admission and paperwork processing. The employees of the Canadian embassy, who granted visas without confirming the veracity of the letters, are also under investigation.Source: Hindustan Times

While Leader of the Opposition Pierre Poilievre has requested that the fraudsters be brought to justice and that honest students be let to stay, work, and contribute to Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has underlined the need for equitable treatment of the offended students.

Their ambitions and goals may be sustained by an immigration system that is open and free from corruption.
