Three men who ran an immigration consulting firm in Halifax have been charged with running a fraud scheme to get people into Canada, it was announced today.
The Canada Border Services Agency said it doesn't believe the three are currently in Canada.
It's alleged the men used their business, Canada 2000 Immigration and Business Services Inc., to help families maintain fake homes in Canada so they would keep their permanent resident status.
People under the permanent resident category must live in the country for 730 days over a five-year period.
In May 2011, the border agency raided the business at its Brenton Street location in Halifax. They also searched three other locations in the city.
Two people were arrested at the time but later released without charges. A border agency spokesperson said one of those men is now being charged.
Ziad El Shurafa and Mohammed Elhajabed each face eight counts of counselling misrepresentation. Awni Sakalla faces two counts of the same charge.
The CBSA has issued warrants for El Shurafa and Elhajabed, although it's believed they're no longer in the country.
The CBSA said their investigation isn't finished. It's still trying to figure out how many people may have fraudulently maintained their status in the country through the company.
And no, posting that is NOT racist.Its a fact.
Kudos to the CBSA!
Ping To Islamists fraud in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
They just keep trying.
The Quran should be banned as hate literature, and Muslims given a choice to convert, or emigrate. There is no reason to allow this cancerous ideology to exist here under the guise of religious freedom. Churches and synagogues are routinely purged from Muslim areas, they should not be allowed their mosques in return.
# of churches and synagogues in Saudi Arabia = 0
Won't ever happen...there is no Congressional Will to stop this..none! They will continue with the Islamophication of America as there's no resistance at all.
IMO this nation has proved it's a push-over for Muslims and they are certainly taking advantage of our weakness. They are doing exactly as they have done for eons....The March Continues unabated!
i’ve lived in Halifax since 1998. When I first arrived the muslim population was tiny. Since then the muslim population has exploded. We are getting inundated with well funded muslims with large families, who have already begun to become a major force in certain parts of this east coast city of 350,000. This is not a random event. Halifax has no mosques, very few ethnic food stores or restaurants, and a damp climate that is completely foreign to these newcomers. So any are they coming here? Because you can buy your way into this city more cheaply than the big cities of Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver under the business immigration program. The Saudi trillions in oil profits are being used to plant muslims throughout the western world. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool. At the current rate of muslim immigration, they will be a significant political force in this city within 5 to 10 years. The current pro-Israel position of the Canadian government is not long for the world once the muslim population reaches a critical mass.
Thanks for the ping, Candor 7.
Canada Ping.
