International students who were scammed by an immigration consultant in India and told to face deportation will now be allowed to stay in Canada according to immigration minister Sean Fraser
“International students who are genuine applicants that came to Canada to study and were victimized by fraudsters will be given permission to remain in Canada,” Fraser said in a press conference on Wednesday, June 14.
The announcement follows weeks of protests and calls from both Conservative and NDP members of parliament to stay these deportation orders.
The ministry has appointed a task force to work with the Canada Border Services Agency to identify victims of fraud from overseas, the immigration consultants who issue them, and other foreign nationals using forged admissions letters “to take advantage of Canada’s immigration system.”
