More than 150 Indian students have been told to leave the country by the Canadian Border Security Agency (CBSA), which says they arrived in the country on forged college admission letters.
The students say they were unaware of the forgeries and insist they were duped by their immigration consultation agency in India that provided them the document.
Many who received the eviction letters are now embarrassed to come forward – living in a Western country is seen as a matter of prestige by many Indian families, especially in the state of Punjab where Dimple K is from.
“My mind is dark. I cannot move forward, nor go back,” said Dimple. She has been living in Canada on a student visa since 2017.
