Mississauga, June 21
UNITED SIKHS has taken proactive measures to address the concerns of international students affected by the recent educational consultant fraud. In a significant move, members of the UNITED SIKHS team reached out with Canadian Members of Parliament (MPs) and administrators to advocate for the fair treatment and protection of these students. Our team met Conservative Party Deputy Leader Tim Uppal and MP Jasraj Hallan.
The meeting between representatives and Canadian MPs took place amidst the backdrop of protests by international students in Canada. The protests sparked after deportation notices to a number of students by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) following the revelation that numerous students had fallen victim to fraudulent activities perpetrated by unscrupulous educational consultants in India. These consultants, who misrepresented educational opportunities in Canada, exploited the aspirations of the students for personal gain.
