It has long been rumoured that many immigration consultants were running fraudulent operations. It looks like we are finally seeing what the Conservative government identified as its law and order agenda of cleaning up loose ends. Although not a fan of the Conservatives, I do applaud them on this move.

Let`s hope they remain vigilant on this issue.

1800??? Please - give me a break! This is just a tiny, microscopic tip of a gigantic, slimy ice burg. Canada is unfortunately becoming inundated with hordes of illegal immigrants - many of them criminals and gangsters who have found out how to easily exploit the loopholes in the immigration system. I'd put the number of illegal immigrants into the hundreds of thousands over the last 15 years or so - perhaps many, many more...

that's kinda funny..last time i heard, canada pretty much lets anyone in from foreign countries, and gives them a home and their own businesses, tax-free for 7 years...i lived in ontario for about 3 years, and have seen that happen..about 3 blocks from where i lived at in fergus, there was small apartment building above some retail space...which sat empty for who knows how long...i went past there one day, and all of a sudden there's a small convenience store open, run by a korean family...they had been in canada for about 3 weeks, from what they told me...and the government set them up with that store.

They do get assistance from their own consultate if they want it. Their consultate should assist them. As for running a net loss for a few years, isn't that normal for a new business?

How about the guy at 1600 Pennsylvania ave?

Haha. I don't believe he has Canadian citizenship. But if he applied for one, I wonder if they would examine his BC?
