Fake Marriage Certificates: Law Enforcement Resources

www.immigrantscanada.comImmigration Consultants Dept: In an interview with The , Mr. Kenney said he will also ask Indian officials to consider whether they may need a bill similar to one introduced in Parliament this June – the Cracking Down on Crooked Consultants Act – which would make it a crime for a person who is not a lawyer, notary or member of a recognized association of immigration consultants to accept a fee for providing immigration advice, according to Globe And Mail. “There’s a pretty sophisticated industry that produces these kinds of documents.’’ Immigration Minister Jason Kenney will spend three days this week in India, where he will ask officials to focus more law-enforcement resources and share more information with Canada on “immigration fraudsters’’ who often charge applicants thousands of dollars and use fake documents to bolster their cases. “In Chandigarh, in our consulate there, we have a wall of shame’ with some examples of the thousands of fraudulent documents that are generated by this industry – fake marriage certificates, death certificates, travel itineraries, banking statements, you name it,” Mr. Kenney said.
