The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) says it has laid charges against two Ontario residents in connection with an alleged fraud scheme that targeted international students. CBSA says the investigation began after it received a tip from Lambton College in Sarnia, Ontario, in February 2025. According to the agency, the accused allegedly collected money from international students by promising to pay their tuition. CBSA alleges that although payments were taken, the students were not actually enrolled as promised.
The reporting from multiple outlets describes the core allegation consistently: students are said to have been asked to provide funds based on assurances related to tuition payment and enrollment, but enrollment did not occur. One outlet also notes that the matter involves multiple charges against two people from Ontario. The sources do not provide additional details about the specific charge types, court locations, or the status of the accused, focusing instead on CBSA’s allegations and the stated origin of the investigation.
The case is ongoing, and the allegations have not been proven in court.
