Immigration Fraud Targets Students | Ottawa News
Description
Two suspects in southwestern Ontario face 12 fraud charges after allegedly swindling international students out of $126,000 by handing them fake enrollment documents—no classes ever delivered. The scam, flagged by Lambton College in February 2025, led to raids, digital evidence seizures, and arrests of Hardik Dave and Jainishkumar Patel. Dave is now on the run with an arrest warrant, while Patel remains in custody. The CBSA, which opened over 160 IRPA-related investigations last year, vows to protect students from exploitation and uphold immigration integrity.
