New Immigration rules to crack down ghost immigration Consultants

New Immigrations rules have been proposed to crack down the crooked immigration consultants.

As there is increase in number of frauds due to dishonest immigration consultants, who victimized innocent aspirants who want to go to abroad.

To keep a check on such ghost immigration consultancies and their illegal activities, a new legislation has been introduced in Canada.  

The act is formed to govern the rules for the operating consultancies, those who ask for the fees for their advice regarding immigration. These consultancies take an advantage of loop holes present in the system and guide people with the sham procedures of immigrating to other countries.

To regulate these frauds a brand new set of body is proposed recently by the federal immigration minister. This step is proposed to limit the abilities of ghost consultancies to organize crime and takes an advantage over the laws and acts implemented by the government.

They have planned to form an own regulatory body consultants to provide quality advices, representations to the seekers. It is mainly targeted to the undeclared ghost consultancies and others who form the part of unacceptable activities relating to immigration.

This new regulation will protect the people’s interest and help them to build their trust over the immigration system of the country.

This act and body is expected to come into force in coming months of this year. “Bill C-35 was firstly introduced as for the Cracking Down the crooked consultant Act, which has now received as Royal Assent will be soon coming into the force”, said by Jason Kenney, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister.

It is believed that once it came into force, then it will be offence for anyone other than an authorized immigration consultant to give advice to the seekers and carry out various procedures for them in legal way and would guide them properly. This will help to put a stop on the ghost consultancies, which victimized innocent people and earn money for the wrong ways shown by them.

To ensure further check on it the law has doubled the fine money from $50, 000 to $ 1, 00,000 for giving unauthorized advice to the seeker. And summary conviction has been increased to $20, 000 from $10, 000 plus the other penalties also.

According to the government such consultancies are not only threat for the aspirants but also to integrity of the immigration system of the country. It will serve as a successful strategy to protect people from frauds who want to immigrate to Canada and settle.
