"There have been recent reports of international students and graduates facing removal from Canada, after letters of acceptance submitted as part of their study permit application were determined to be fraudulent. Only those candidates found genuine or victims of a fraud will be allowed to stay in Canada. But those found to be guilty will be prosecuted under the Canadian law," Canadian Immigration Minister, Sean Fraser, said.
“I want to make it clear that international students who are not found to be involved in fraud will not face deportation," he added.
A task force has been announced to look into the matter, on a case by case basis.

If the facts of an individual case are clear that an international student came to Canada with a genuine intent to study, and without knowledge of the use of fraudulent documentation, the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will issue a Temporary Resident Permit to that individual.
"This will ensure that these well-intentioned students and graduates can remain in Canada, and ensure that they are not subject to the 5-year ban from re-entering Canada that normally follows in cases of misrepresentation," Fraser said.
While this process runs its course, preliminary Temporary Resident Permits will be issued if they are required in order to prevent an imminent deportation for anyone under review.
“Further to my instructions to officials, IRCC has been working even closer with Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs), provinces and territories, and organizations representing Canada’s colleges and universities to better detect and combat fraud, and uphold the integrity of our immigration programs. We are taking every opportunity to crack down on dishonest and fraudulent consultants who seek to abuse Canada’s immigration system and take advantage of those seeking to visit, work, study or settle here in Canada," the Immigration Minister added.

“We recognize the immense contributions that international students make to our country, and we are committed to providing a path to Canada that is honest and transparent. All applicants must continue to ensure that, before applying for a study permit, they do their research, have an acceptance letter from a DLI, and refer to the official website to get information about our programs. If you believe you have been deceived by an unscrupulous consultant, we urge you to come forward and report fraud,” the IRCC said in a statement.
Last week, Canadian government had put a hold on the deportation but the next move and for how the relief would last was not announced.
The committee's motion highlighted the need to protect these international students from deportation and inadmissibility based on misrepresentation, understanding that they were victims of fraud. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated that the focus is on identifying the culprits rather than penalizing the victims.
He assured that victims of fraud would have an opportunity to present evidence supporting their cases and demonstrate their situations.
