In a move to address the unpleasant situation faced by Indian students who fell prey to bogus admission letters, Sean Fraser, the Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship in Canada, has made a statement expressing the government’s commitment to the well-being of these students. The Canadian government has taken swift steps to safeguard the concerned students and secure their security and legal status in the nation.
Taskforce Formation: A specialised taskforce has been created to preserve the rights and interests of the victims of fraud. The taskforce contains professionals in immigration, law enforcement, and student affairs, who will work jointly to investigate fraudulent operations, identify offenders, and give help to impacted students.
Halting Deportations: During the review process, impending deportations of persons touched by the false acceptance letters have been halted. This legislation would afford relief to students who found themselves inadvertently caught in these frauds, providing them the chance to submit their cases and seek justice without the threat of quick expulsion from the country.
Protection for legitimate Students: To assuage the anxieties of legitimate students who have fallen victim to fraud, the Canadian government has pledged that they will not risk deportation. These students will be entitled to stay in Canada, enabling them to finish their studies and pursue their aspirations in a secure and supportive environment.
Consequences for Fraudsters: In a tough stance against those engaged in perpetrating fraud, the government has announced that those implicated in these fraudulent actions would face deportation. This resolute approach sends a clear message that fraudulent acts will not be accepted, upholding the integrity of Canada’s immigration system.
