Nearly 20,000 Indian students have failed to enrol at their designated colleges and universities after arriving in Canada. This has raised significant concerns about immigration fraud and the misuse of the student visa system.

Some of those students seem to have been misled by unregulated agents promising easy access to jobs or permanent residency.
