Three Indian men who say they have been fooled by the same immigration scams have complained about their alleged fraud to a regulator they thought could help them: the Canadian Immigration Advisory Board ( ICCRC )

John Murray is President and CEO of the ICCRC Association in Burlington. “We do not have the authority to control and review the qualifications of persons who do not operate under the auspices and licenses of the ICCRC,” he told CTV News.

The men said they trusted Karnail Singh Ghadial, known as the “ghost” immigration consultant who worked on the black market. The men claim that Ghadial offered them a fake job, which ultimately led to their cancellation of their chances of working in Canada and their expulsion from the country. Ghadial said he did not know the job opportunities were fraudulent.

“This is a big problem for us, but we can’t do anything about it,” Murray said.

However, the Canadian Immigration Advisers Association has filed a complaint with the Canadian Border Services (CBSA), which has stated that it is dealing with wider fraud rather than occasional complaints.

But these occasional complaints can be repeated by criminals. The ICCRC says it has referred 98 cases to the CBSA in the past two years, leading to 16 indictments.

Indian men say no new updates have been made to their case by the CBSA.

“All I want is justice,” said Kamalpreet Singh of Jalandhar, India.

In addition, the ICCRC says it lacks executive powers even in the face of licensed members under its supervision. The association can identify the culprits, remove their licenses and issue small fines, but it has problems raising money for these fines. Nor can it force witnesses to appear in court or search and seize documents.

Murray says there has been enough follow-up by the ICCRC to gain more authority, but we have always received a firm answer that “soon” but no action has been taken yet.

Canadian Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen says complaints such as these Indians have not been taken lightly by Ottawa.
“We are looking at anything that seriously threatens the integrity of Canada’s immigration system,” he told CTV News.

When it comes to helping people immigrate to Canada, Ravi Jain of the Canadian Bar Association says such jobs should be outsourced to lawyers, not consultants.

In an interview with CTV News, Jain claimed: “Some of them work even without graduating from high school and without any degree. “Others apply for immigration counseling just by taking a college course online.”

The ICCRC is seeking to tighten its grip as the Ottawa government plans to attract more immigrants (approximately 350,000) by 2021, many of whom believe more needs to be done to deal with fraudulent advisers. Be done.
