In India, there is no policy to send people abroad nor any law to send people on immigration, study, or visitor visas. The Indian Foreign Ministry has only made an act for the recruitment of contractual workers abroad. There are numerous unauthorized agents who are giving visa services like study visas, immigration visas, visitor visas under the name of education consultancy services and IELTS coaching centres in Haryana, Punjab and elsewhere in India (without having any licence or certification from the concerned foreign govt.).
This information was provided by Dr. Arvind Kumar Kadian, MD of KAD Immigration Services. He is a member of the Canadian Association of Professional Immigration Consultants as well as an Immigration Consultant registered and licensed by the regulatory body of the Government of Canada. He is also an ICEF Certified International Student Recruiter. Dr. Kadian had been the Associate Professor in the Govt. College, Karnal for a long time and also served as the Principal of Govt. College, Assandh, Haryana. He is spreading an awareness campaign to save the youth from the clutches of unauthorized consultants. He was addressing a press conference at Chandigarh. He said that the youths are being duped on a large scale by a large number of unauthorized consultants in the name of sending them abroad, it is a serious matter. According to a report, every day five people in the country fall prey to it. More than a dozen complaints are registered daily but very few get punishment. According to an estimate lac of students from India go abroad for study. The people get trapped in the clutches of unauthorized agents due to a lack of reliable services. In Haryana and Punjab, in the name of Donkey visas, dozens of youths died because of illegal immigration. In Haryana, there is only he and one or two others who are practising as Immigration Consultants registered by the Canadian govt.
He said that a number of RTIS are being filed to the Foreign Ministry, Home Department, and Director General of Police, Haryana to know the criteria to grant a licence to practice immigration services like study visa, immigration visa, visitor visa but no satisfactory reply is received. Whatever information is received is that there is no policy to regulate the immigration services in Haryana, Punjab and elsewhere in India.
