00:01Canada Study Scam Leaves Victims Trapped Dreaming of Justice
00:08A dream to study in Canada turned into a living nightmare for two West African women who arrived with hope and fake documents.
00:16Lured by a smooth-talking consultant and armed with fraudulent admission letters, they landed in Quebec only to discover their futures had been stolen before they ever left home.
00:28Now, they live in fear, without legal status, and with no clear path forward.
00:37The full version of this video update is available on our website. Link is provided in the description below.
00:58In this video, we expose the growing scam where victims are lured with fake Canadian university admissions.
01:07Uncover how fraudulent immigration paperwork and forged CAQ approvals are being used to deceive applicants.
01:15Highlight the deep emotional and financial toll on affected families.
01:18Reveal the alarming rise in fraud cases within Canada's study permit system and question the government's silence and lack of legal recourse.
01:29Watch till the end to protect yourself from similar traps and understand what needs to change.
01:34Let's begin with victims tricked with fake Canadian university admissions.
01:45In 2022, Aminata left Benin for Canada, believing she had been accepted to the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi.
01:52But once in Quebec, she learned the acceptance letter was forged.
01:57Like her, Fatim also fell for the same scam, paying thousands to a man posing as a consultant.
02:04Neither were ever accepted to university. Their dreams crumbled within days of arrival.
02:09These women aren't alone. The fraud appears widespread, with Yukak confirming 44 forged admission letters in just six months.
02:19The scam was well orchestrated, complete with fake CAQs and plausible timelines, making it nearly impossible for the victims to detect the deception before travelling.
02:29Next, we explore fraudulent immigration paperwork and CAQ approvals.
02:35The consultant didn't just falsify university acceptance letters. He allegedly secured Quebec Acceptance Certificates, CAQs, a crucial step for international students to apply for a Canadian study permit.
02:51These documents, issued under false pretenses, passed through both Canadian and Quebec immigration systems undetected.
02:57Despite the obvious red flags upon arrival, both women found themselves abandoned by the very system they believed would protect them.
03:06Worse still, when they approached schools and authorities for help, the documents they carried only incriminated them further, leaving them vulnerable to deportation and without options.
03:16Moving on to the emotional and financial toll on victims and families.
03:24Fadham's father sold property to fund her journey. When she told him the truth, his health deteriorated and he passed away before she could return home.
03:34Aminata, now living in fear, clutches onto faint hope that Canada will see she was misled.
03:41I gave him all my money, she said. Now I have nothing, not even status.
03:47Both women live in isolation, emotionally crushed, financially ruined and legally cornered.
03:56They fear deportation, but have nothing to return to.
04:00Their futures are suspended in legal limbo, their sacrifices buried under layers of fraud and bureaucracy.
04:09Then we examine the growing cases of fraud in Canadian study permit system.
04:13In 2023, IRCC uncovered 1,550 study permit applications linked to fraudulent admission letters.
04:23The issue isn't isolated, it's systemic.
04:26More than 10,000 fake letters have been intercepted through Canada's improved verification process.
04:31Yet many slip through, ensnaring students from regions like West Africa, where communication infrastructure and access to credible information are limited.
04:39Immigration experts warn that victims often fall prey due to lack of knowledge and the desperation to pursue better opportunities.
04:48Some sell the farm to reach Canada, only to discover that they have been duped and are now undocumented in a foreign land.
04:58Following that, we look at the government silence and lack of legal recourse.
05:02Despite contacting police, anti-fraud agencies, immigration officials and even the Prime Minister, Aminata says no one has stepped in to help.
05:15Canadian authorities claim the fraud occurred overseas and is out of their jurisdiction.
05:20Saguenay police directed her back to her embassy, effectively passing the buck.
05:29Even though the consultant has been expelled from his university, no criminal charges have been filed.
05:35His number has been deactivated.
05:37For victims like Aminata and Fatim, the silence from the system is louder than the crime itself.
05:41They asked me to talk, said Aminata, and I talked, but nobody is doing anything.
05:50Finally, we wrap up with the conclusion.
05:53This isn't just a story about fraud.
05:58It's a warning about the fragility of immigration dreams and the urgent need for better protections.
06:02Victims like Aminata and Fatim continue to suffer in silence, left in limbo, while the system fails to catch up.
06:11Until meaningful accountability is enforced, Canada's reputation as a safe, welcoming destination for students remains at risk.
