New Delhi (The Stellar News) Saksham Kalia: In a bizarre, more than 700 Indian students facing deportation from Canada after the authorities found their admission offer letters fake. As per the sources, most of them have completed their studies, have work experience and were applying for the PR when Canadian Border Security Agency after scrutinizing the documents they has presented were fake and the authority issued deportation notices immediately.
As per reports, these 700 students had applied for study visas via Education Migration Services (located in Jalandhar) headed by Brijesh Mishra, who had charged more than Rs 16 lakh per student for all expenses, including admission fee to premier institute Humber College but excluding the air tickets and security deposits.
A Jalandhar based consultant, who has been sending students to Canada for the past 10 years, told that in such frauds multiple factors are involved – from getting forged offer letters of colleges to providing forged fee payment receipts to students for seeking visas as visas are issued only after depositing the fee to the colleges.
“In this case most of the students were provided the offer letters of such colleges where they did not study eventually after landing in Canada. They were either shifted to other colleges or asked to wait for the next semester, that is, not in the semester which was shown in the documents at the time of applying for visas,” an established consultant from Kapurthala said, adding that there is a huge rush of Indian students to Canada and such desperation of students is being capitalised by some fraudulent agents by conniving with a Canada-based private college.
