Indian agent who provided fake papers to Indians to study in Canada jailed

Brijesh Mishra, an agent of the Overseas Education Consultant, was sentenced to 3 years in prison in Canada for providing fake Canadian college acceptance letters to Indians.

After his sentence is over in Canada, Mishra will be deported to India.

Brijesh Mishra, a 37-year-old Indian national and an agent of the Overseas Education Consultant, has been sentenced to three years in
prison in Canada after pleading guilty to multiple Canadian immigration offences, including misrepresentation and communicating false information.

After his jail term is over in Canada, Mishra will likely be deported to India.

He faces criminal charges in India, including a human smuggling offence under the Punjab Travel Act, which carries a maximum penalty of death.

Mishra charged students lakhs of rupees for the fraudulent documents, which at times led to their deportation.

Mishra's arrest came after an investigation by the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) that linked him to numerous fraudulent

acceptance letters from Canadian colleges and universities provided to prospective international students from India between 2016 and 2020.
