Citizenship and Immigration Canada – A Brighter Future: New Refugee Video Unveiled

London Free Press – Visa Fraudsters Pose Threat: Expert
A widespread market overseas for fake visa documents — including counterfeit clean police records — means false applicants are slipping past Canadian visa officials.
