Immigration agent held in fake college admission letter case

TORONTO: The charges against Brijesh Mishra were announced on Friday by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).

The Toronto Star reported that Mishra was taken into custody as he attempted to enter Canada and was found to be inadmissible. He is believed to be in pre-trial detention in British Columbia.

Mishra was charged with immigration-related offences, the Canada Border Service Agency said in a statement.

There were about 30 students facing removal proceedings, with an additional 130 or so cases being investigated. These students arrived in Canada between 2017 and 2019, and in rare instances, 2020. They started receiving notices from the CBSA in 2021 and last year, for a hearing as the agency concluded the letter of offer of admission to a Canadian higher education institution, which formed the basis of their study permits, was fake, people aware of the matter said.
