A NIGERIAN MAN WAS SENTENCED TO TWO YEARS IN PRISON FOR IMPERSONATING AN IMMIGRATION CONSULTANT IN CANADA…

A Nigerian man, Chinenye Alozie, was sentenced to two years house arrest by a Provincial Court in Winnipeg, Canada, for forging bank records and other documents to assist would-be immigrants in entering the country safely.

The 35-year-old restaurateur and father of four pleaded guilty to illegal immigration consulting and misrepresenting or withholding facts in immigration applications, both violations of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act..

According to Canada Today, the court heard the crimes related to Alozie’s dealings with more than 60 foreigners, the majority of whom were students, between 2014 and 2019. In late 2018, he drew the attention of the Canadian Border Services Agency after reports that he had advertised his services to international students online…

At a hearing on Tuesday, QC Matthew Sinclair told Judge Stacy Cawley that “Alozie is not authorized to represent persons in relation to their applications.”
