On June 13, 2023, Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, made a statement concerning the reports of international student fraud.
He said international students who are not found to be involved in immigration-related fraud will not be deported. Fraser said he directed the issuance of temporary resident permits (TRP) to foreign students who came to Canada intending to study and were unaware of the use of forged documents.
The minister's statement came after a group of Indian students in Canada were threatened with deportation for allegedly submitting fraudulent letters of acceptance.
He urged applicants to make sure they do proper research and access the official website before applying for a study permit. #IRCC, #TRP, #Fraser, #international_students, #immigration_fraud #deportation

The new Federal pathway under the Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP) provides displaced individuals with additional measures to facilitate their access to regional economic programs.
This means that the Government of Canada supports not only skilled refugees but also those with other qualifications and skills.
Furthermore, the Federal EMPP will allow displaced individuals to apply through a standalone federal pathway, providing them with more opportunities to fill a variety of labour market needs across Canada.
This initiative has the potential to greatly benefit the Canadian economy by tapping into a pool of skilled and hardworking individuals who are eager to contribute and make a difference in their new home country.
