In a case that should serve up a warning to those who use false papers
in their applications, a Toronto immigration consultant has been
charged after allegedly filing bogus letters of employment for
immigrant sponsors.
Cuong Tu "Victor" Le, 43, president of Global Immigration Consulting Group Inc., on University Avenue, was a member in good standing of the Canadian Society of Immigration Consultants, said Corporal Kevin Gibson.
Police laid charges in two cases but "many, many" files are under review, he said. "People would come in and want to sponsor someone to become a new Canadian. Those sponsors are required to have a certain amount of financial backing," Gibson said.
The sponsors were allegedly paying Le hundreds of dollars for the false letters, boosting their chances of successfully bringing a family member into the country.
Le is charged with two counts of misrepresentation in violation of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
