Die Ford-Regierung kündigt strenge neue Regeln für Einwanderungsberater an, die „böse Schauspieler“ sind

> New provincial legislation will target “bad-actor” immigration consultants who prey on newcomers with fines and lifetime bans as punishment.

> Announced Wednesday in Brampton by David Piccini, minister of labour, immigration, training and skills development, the measures will set out new, tougher rules for immigration representatives that could require them to issue written contracts, show proof of their licence, and give applicants the right to see their files.

> Minimum penalties for fraud will be a three- to 10-year ban from the profession, and a lifetime ban for anyone convicted of human trafficking or withholding an applicant’s passport.

> Fines for representatives or employers who lie during the application process — or urge their client to be dishonest — rise to $10,000 from the current $2,000. 

> From 2019 to April of this year, 153 people — most of them citizens or permanent residents of Canada — were charged with fraudulent immigration consultant offences, according to statistics from Canada Border Services Agency.

Fuxk the conservatives, but this is actually helpful. I’ve met David piccini personally, several times, and he used to be my MPP. I think hes a door knob at face value. He is actually accomplishing meaningful policy. As much as I want to not believe it or think its ground work for some other legislation we arent aware of yet. Skeptically pessimisticly hoping it works out

These rules already exist…. “Could require them to issue written contracts, show proof of their licence, and give applicants the right to see their files.”. This is already required for RCICs. The problem is, once again, NO REGULATION IS BEING DONE.

Do we really need a new rule for fraud? Just arrest these assholes already.

Fraud and human trafficking are already illegal. Instead of a new set of rules we need a couple hundred inspectors/auditors to enforce the laws we already have. The police only investigate crimes committed by poor people. What we need is an employment fraud force that is willing to put handcuffs on people who make more than 100k a year.

Hmm. Ford has been making hella bad decisions of late. But this should be agreeable to everyone. It’s clear exploitation is happening within the system. There is a difference between shortcuts/loopholes and fraud.

Government (Ford and Trudeau) need to clamp down on the fraud. It seems like they were allowing it intentionally for a while. Why wouldn’t they? It’s all great for their investment portfolios.

Trudeau’s government has been responsible for allowing the immigrantion boom to go unchecked and facilitating it post-COVID. Ford has been directly responsible for enabling the diploma mills and these “consultants”. If they’re both in agreement on this particular issue, you know there’s trouble in the air.

Should be an…. Interesting year until the next election. Doug quite literally paying voters 😂 JT backtracking on his immigration stance to win favor.

Close the loopholes, jail the fraudster consultants. Tighter regulations so it doesn’t happen again, for the sake of TFWs and Canadians.

And can someone talk about building some godamn houses and funding our hospitals? Please?

What they really need to do is tough new rules for ‘bad drivers’.

Any money to pay for prosecutions or will this fall in between jack and shit in what crimes the crown attorneys take on.

But you couldn’t have done that earlier, why? Because they were your friends ?😱😱😱😱
