ED Uncovers Human Trafficking Network Tied to 262 Canadian Colleges

Delhi (India) December 26 : The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has found a shocking network of human trafficking that reportedly includes 262 Canadian colleges. Reports say that these organizations had deals with two Indian groups that are being looked into for their part in a large-scale trafficking scheme. This discovery has shocked people in the immigration and education communities and has led to a more in-depth investigation into the matter.  

Supposedly Indian Groups at the Core

The ED found that two Indian companies helped people get fake admissions to these Canadian schools, which allowed people to be trafficked under the excuse of student visas. "The network used education as a front to bring people into Canada illegally," according to sources. Investigators are looking into how involved these groups are and how they are connected to Canadian institutions.

Work Process of Trafficking Network

Officials say that people were told they could go to school in Canada, and the colleges were just a cover. Many of them were said to have ended up working illegally or in ways that were unfair to them once they got to Canada. The investigation by the ED showed that the scam was well-planned and used fake papers and dishonest admissions procedures.

Plan of Action Against these Networks

The ED is working with Canadian officials to find out if these institutions were involved and to act against those responsible. Indian companies that are suspected have been sent legal notices, and the agency is now looking for people who may have been harmed by this network.

Widespread Effects and Concerns

Concerns have been raised about how foreign education can be used to hide trafficking. It also makes Canadian schools more accountable for how they do their research. Immigration experts have called for strict checks to stop this kind of abuse, stressing how important it is to protect real students and migrants.

Investigations Underway for Justice

The ED has said they will break up the network and look out for the victims' rights. Someone said, "We will do everything we can to hold those responsible for this exploitation accountable." The government is also trying to stop this from happening again by keeping a closer eye on the immigration and school systems. This shocking case should put governments, schools, and immigration agencies on notice that they need to work together to solve these kinds of issues.
