Fake documentation: Faridkot student faces deportation from Canada

Canadian authorities have issued their first removal order to a former international student from India in a case related to fake documentation.

The students arrived in Canada between 2017 and 2019 to study, but the Canadian Border Services Agency later concluded the letter of offer of admission to a Canadian higher education institution, which formed the basis of their study permits, was fake.
