Deportation Warning Over Fake Papers: Indian Students Protest In Canada

New Delhi: Hundreds of Indian students are protesting in Canada fearing possible deportation after alleged admission to Canadian universities and colleges on “fake offer letters.” The students, mostly from Punjab, claim that travel agents in India have caused this racket.

Notably, 700 Indian students have received deportation letters from the CBSA recently after their admission offer letters to educational institutions were found to be fake.  Students are protesting at the Airport Road of Mississauga, Ontario, outside the head office of the Canadian Border Security Agency (CBSA) since May 29. Smaller protests have been launched in other parts of Ontario as well.

Students have also reached out to Sean Fraser, the Canadian immigration minister, who has assured them that he would look into the matter.  However, the CBSA maintains its statement that the students entered the country “under false pretence, fraudulently,” Times of India reported.

In a letter written to the Minister of External Affairs, Indian NRI Affairs Minister Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal has demanded the Indian Government’s intervention on this issue.

Brad Redekopp, a Conservative MP in Canada, recently put a motion in the Parliamentary Committee on Immigration calling on the Canadian immigration minister to suspend the deportation of international students to India until their claims have undergone investigation. The motion was adjourned by a 6-5 vote.
