Canada has announced new penalties for immigration fraud, setting a maximum fine of $1.07 million for consultants who provide false information or offer unauthorized services.

The measures target immigration consultants, who can now face significant financial penalties if they are found to have misled clients or performed services without proper authorization.

Under the updated rules, the maximum fine of $1.07 million represents a substantial increase over previous penalties, signalling a tougher stance on fraud within the country’s immigration system.

The Canadian government said the changes aim to protect the integrity of its immigration processes and deter individuals from exploiting the system.
