CBC News – Cash-for-Jobs Immigration Consultant Under Scrutiny by Federal and Provincial Officials

The company at the centre of an undercover CBC News investigation, which unearthed evidence of a cash-for-jobs immigration scheme, is now being reviewed by federal and provincial officials.

Since CBC’s stories ran, Vstar has removed reference to its immigration business in Saskatchewan from its website. The matter “is currently being reviewed by Labour Relations and Workplace Safety Program Integrity Unit,” the Saskatchewan premier’s office said in an email, adding that officials are arranging meetings with “organizations” identified in CBC’s stories.

The law stopped all Chinese immigration into Canada and divided hundreds of families for years. It was only repealed in 1946.
