This declaration was made in response to last year's fraudulent admissions, which involved fake records and were mostly from India, according to HT.

The goal of these reforms is to safeguard legitimate students from fraud while strengthening Canada's international student program.

Post-secondary designated learning institutions, or DLIs, will have to check each applicant's acceptance letter with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, or IRCC, immediately starting this year. These policies will take effect in Canada on December 1.

Goal of this reform

According to an IRCC press release, the goal of this new, improved verification method is to protect prospective students from acceptance letter fraud and assist them in avoiding issues that some students encountered earlier this year as a result of fraud investigations. Additionally, it will guarantee that only legitimate letters of acceptance will be used to grant study visas.

International students are brilliant, talented, and deserving of a good experience while they study in Canada, according to Miller. Canada's programme for international students will be further enhanced by safeguarding students and removing those who attempt to exploit them.

According to the IRCC, these steps will be taken to protect legitimate students from fraudulent people looking to cheat them of their money by quickly identifying fake acceptance letters following submission.

To keep genuine learners from being deported, the IRCC formed a task force to work with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to examine situations involving forged documents. According to HT, out of the 103 cases that were examined by October 12, 63 were found to be real students and 40 were not.
