Four Richmondites on trial for allegedly falsifying immigration information for 67 people

They were also notified that their applications for permanent resident cards or visas were denied and that they may not be able to re-apply to immigrate to or visit Canada for five years.

Zhelun claims they entered into an agreement with UCII in October 2014 where UCII agreed to refund Zhelum and their clients if they were unsuccessful in getting immigration documents.

But Zhelun says UCII explained they could not repay the amount upon request, as it had been invested in various businesses.

The suit asks for an injunction to prevent the defendants from “further encumbering, dealing with, or disposing of assets and properties where the plaintiffs or their investments proceeds were used.”

It also seeks several declarations that defendants breached the agreement with Zhelun, owed plaintiffs a fiduciary duty, and failed to act with reasonable care in regards to the nomination program applications and investments.

Zhelun filed a similar but separate lawsuit over the issue in November 2015 in the B.C. Supreme Court.

It alleges they are owed $11,900,718 paid by 90 clients to UCII as well as general and special damages.

Geez in the last few years we hired more janitors than policy analysis specialists…and that in itself speaks volumes.
Yeah no human trafficking up here, whatever!
I cannot even recognize most here anymore. Since I am not a ESL teacher I stopped giving what little money I have to those whom employ said imports. It would seem to heaps of willfully ignorant folks using our community to virtue signal, tripping over themselves on our dime to dilute this place.
There is a liberal fetish to morph this place into 3rd world values, and with the help of many of you…they are doing a stellar job of it.
Seems the fetish for diversity is only for melanoma and not so much on opinions and intellect.
Carry on….

I’m not blaming the Education Department. I think there is a serious criminal element operating in Whitehorse with respect to the Nominee Program, and the YG staff at the Dept. of Ed. can’t be expected to deal with that. They are good people, but they aren’t CSIS.

These schemes, particularly the Yukon nominee Program, are so woefully mis-administered that it almost urges people ( particularly from China ) to try and work the system for financial gain. Fraudulence in the form of false paperwork submissions is routine for applications involving Chinese nationals. To suggest that the Dept of Education is incompetent is an insult. The Cash for Passports scam is just an example from recent memory.

PS – I’d be wondering what went wrong from the standpoint of this multi-million dollar fraud, that the visas were not approved. From there you might be able to find out what was SUPPOSED to happen. Ie, who’s dirty. (if anyone)

There should be an inquiry and a thorough audit.

So far as scams related to the Nominee Program, this is the tip of the iceberg.

Some private people participating in back-door entry to Canada, got ripped off so that’s an outrage, right? And they are suing for their money back. Can’t have the scammers getting scammed now can we!
However, look around this town and tell me there’s not other dirty deeds going down with this program.

The nominee program in theory is good. In practice it is also sometimes good. But there is one H of a lot of abuse going on, and I doubt these are the only people charging tens, or hundreds of thousands, or millions, for ‘helping’ people immigrate through this program. Open your eyes.

Lucky for them they are in Canada doing the defrauding. China would have dealt with them swiftly and harshly, which is what they deserve.
Preying on people’s hopes and dreams is the ultimate low.

Have the plaintiff’s drop a little note to Trudeau, he loves sending money out of the country. I am sure he’ll draft them a cheque, maybe plus a little more than they asked for right away.

They are guilty in my eyes already. Save some tax money and just throw them all in jail, lol.
