Citizenship and Immigration committee  First of all, thank you so much for that, sir. Our organization has already started this campaign. We are awaiting other students. They might be in India. We will try to make it bigger, and we'll choose a different path to inform students: “Stop listening to these ghost consultants; try to find colleges by yourself and have a bright future in Canada.”

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Most of the students filed a complaint against those agents, but in the initial stage, the police didn't file anything against them, because these guys have political connections. Maybe they are so financially strong in India, and that's why the police didn't file anything, but now we are seeing some success in that.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I think they have some connection, because of all the students who were followed by those agents, most were related to just two to three colleges. That agent provided the offer letters just based on Ontario. Some students are from Fanshawe College, and others were from Humber College, so it looks like something is fishy here.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We are worried about this thing, and that's maybe why we came here to speak up—so we can do this process more quickly. We can give some suggestions to the task force. We gave two filters to them—our capability and our intentions—so they should watch these things. They should do it quickly, to give justice to the students.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I think we should be treated the same as them, but the thing is that some of these students—as in the example from Lovepreet—are suffering so much for such a long time. We are paying our consultants. We are financially totally broken right now. Our mental stability.... Some of the students are in depression.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes, I think the same way as Lovepreet Singh. We have been studying for a long time, and mentally, financially.... We don't want to spend that much money again with lawyers and other things. It's a big financial burden on us, so that's why all the students need some kind of easier pathway for their status here.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  That's why we want a quick intervention by the task force in this case, because all of these students are still struggling from depression, anxiety and financial breakdown. That's why we are again and again saying the same thing: the task force should intervene quickly, so all these students can get their misrepresentation waived and maybe can go further with their future.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  It's still not the case, I think. We haven't had any resources from anyone until now. We are still struggling with depression on a day-to-day basis. Our loneliness is killing us. We haven't been back to see our families for the past six years. We haven't had any help until now.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  No. We didn't contact the college, and they didn't contact us, so it was just kind of.... Our consultant told us to go to this college, and we went there and we have done our studies. On that last question to Lovepreet about ghost consultants, you asked if we had any names. There's a CBC documentary by The Fifth Estate.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes, I agree. They should check our capabilities and intentions. These are the main things. We came here with an intention, and we are capable. We got very good marks back in India, and we graduated here with very good marks. We are capable.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I graduated from Langara College. I never went to Fanshawe College, for various reasons. I got my offer letter. I can provide a written submission of my whole story that will present it much better.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We needed to change our DLI numbers. We changed our DLI numbers on the IRCC official website.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Please, it was a long time ago. Maybe we cannot confirm that. We have some proof that shows that we changed our DLI numbers.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you so much, sir. You came to the protest site. Thank you for that. Actually, we have been suffering from this situation for the last two years. We visited so many MPs' offices and other places. We didn't go public. We chose a peaceful protest to come out publicly and to share our stories with other people and the media about how we are suffering right now and the kinds of situations we have been facing over the last two years, what our real story is and how we got defrauded by those agents.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes, we got a response there, but it might have taken some time. That's why we chose to do this thing, a peaceful protest, to make this thing public so the public could know about this thing too.
