We have one ghost consultant here in New Brunswick, who is very active. He fills out all of the user representative forms, as we call them, and puts his wife on the forms as “friend of the applicant”. The provincial government must have maybe 40 or 50 forms with her name on them as “friend of the applicant”. So these people have a lot of new immigrant “friends”. It's just ridiculous. The provincial government must notice this. I have one of these forms in my office, because one person brought it to me. They pay these people for immigration work. She puts her name on it as “friend of the family”.
I'm certified, and there's nothing I can do about this; there's nobody I can go to.
Yesterday I got a document from the Vancouver RCMP, I think it was. They tried to do something about 27 ghost consultants in Vancouver. In the end, they only had a strong case against one of them. Once all of that was processed, it was dismissed. So nothing was done.
There's something really wrong here. If people started operating as and saying they were lawyers, but they were not, what's going to happen to them? Why wouldn't the same thing happen to ghost consultants?
