I know them personally, and they explained it in detail. This is not "hearsay"..

As for the places that act as residences - the G&M had an article a few years back on on P.O. box in Mississauga that was listed as the "home" of over 120 landed immigrants.

It is a real business (faking immigration), and the fact there are people in the world, who shop countries, and figure out the tic-tac-toe of how to get where you want should not be a surprise...to anyone who wanted to get in a particular profession, etc (get into this program at this university, take these courses, get these marks, obtain this degree or certificate, etc...).

I did not report them... Further to the G&M article, the comment is, reports generally go nowhere..A person at a desk, looks at the file, and sees that everything is "Ok" (which is why residency/citizenship was issued in the first place) and closes it.

No one goes to addresses, or calls people in for questions, etc.

And you are right, I probably should have.
