Court Documents: Winnipeg Man and Rights Commission

court documents: Winnipeg man charged with illegally acting as immigration consultant Arrojado was charged on Nov. 24 with three offences related to charging immigration consulting fees without a licence, according to CBC. The 66-year-old is the past president of the Philippine Association of Manitoba, a former commissioner with the Manitoba Human Rights Commission and also ran for the provincial Progressive Conservatives in The Maples in 1995. The documents allege that payments were made through 114 Western Union money transfers to Alfredo Fred Arrojado. Regulations stipulate that to provide immigration advice for a fee while not registered with the government-appointed regulatory body is an offence, the court documents read. The investigation began in January 2015 and a search warrant was executed at Arrojado's home, which is also his office, on April 15, 2016. The file alleges that Arrojado was providing advice and actively soliciting foreign nationals to enlist his services for providing assistance and the completion of documents with immigrating to Canada though the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program for a fee.
