Road To Canada Forums

OTTAWA - After being flooded with fake wedding photos, false forms and forged signatures, the Canadian government is sounding the alarm over immigration fraud.

Officials launched a campaign Tuesday warning potential immigrants they could be removed from Canada if they enter under false pretences.

The warning came in a video the government posted on the Internet, and will be carried in brochures sent out in different languages to Canadian visa offices around the world.

I think that's perfect
It's the frauds that make things difficult for everyone else for lots of reasons
The more resources that go into investigating fraud are resources that aren't being used elsewhere to work on legitimate cases

Obviously this makes things harder on people from parts of the world where fraud runs rampant

I think that is more geared towards bogus immigration consultants. The last statement by the director of the global region is an afterthought.

Now if it showed people being thrown into detention or dragged away screaming in the airport, that would deter fraudsters.

This is more of a caveat emptor on bogus consultants IMHO.
