English Exam: Ads and Education Expenses

english exam: Ads for students typically seek a young woman who has passed the International English Language Testing System IELTS required by Canadian post-secondary schools, according to CTV. On the flip side, parents of those who have passed the English exam and face paying 50,000 to 60,000 for a two-year diploma in Canada are also placing ads to find spouses willing to foot the bill. The ads are part of what some media in India are reporting is a booming industry based on families paying the travel and education expenses of students studying abroad, in exchange for marriage. Shinder Purewal, a former citizenship judge for the B.C. and Yukon region, says Canadian immigration officials are aware of the scheme but it's difficult to determine if a marriage is real or legal when all the documentation is in place and there are plenty of pictures and videos of a ceremony. It's a pretty good deal for a student who has just done high school and passed the English international exams. He says Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom have already cracked down on the practice. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
