Fraser also said Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada will be working closely with Canada Border Services Agency to resolve the issue.
Immigration Minister Sean Fraser is promising a “fair outcome” for over 700 international students from India facing deportation after falling victim to a fake college enrolment scam.
Fraser did not, however, clarify whether the deportation orders against the students would be put on hold while the cases are resolved.
“We are actively pursuing a solution for intl students who are facing uncertainty due to having been admitted to Canada with fraudulent college admission letters,” Fraser said in his tweet on Wednesday.
He added those who have “taken advantage” of international students would face consequences.
According to a press release issued by advocates on behalf of the students, those now facing deportation orders came to Canada in 2017 and 2018 on student permits.
The press release says the students were issued “fake college admission letters drafted by their immigration consultants, namely a Jalandhar-based consultant named Brijesh Mishra.”
“After landing in Canada, the consultants told students that they could not enroll in that particular college for various reasons, such as deferral or unavailability of seats. The students were told to change colleges, which they did in order to begin their studies,” the press release states.
