Canada’s immigration department has begun sending letters to international students, including many from India, to verify their compliance with study permit regulations. This action follows a report by the Auditor General, Karen Hogan, which raised concerns about fraud within the International Student Program. Students are required to submit a formal letter from their designated learning institution along with transcripts from any previous institutions attended in Canada within 21 days. Failure to comply could result in the loss of their temporary resident status. Critics, including immigration consultant Kanwar Sierah, argue that these measures come too late, as many students have already completed their courses. Sierah emphasized the need for a thorough investigation into the role of colleges in issuing work permits based on potentially fraudulent documents. The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is mandated to investigate all allegations of fraud and report findings to the House of Commons’ Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration by the 15th of each month.
