Even though Karamjeet Kaur, 25, proved not to know the college ad missionletter was fraudulent, the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada has ruled that she be deported by May 29. That decision will likely have implications for possibly hundreds of other international students in Canada who reportedly received similar fake admission letters from the same education agent in India -- a situation that shows lack of accountability by border and immigration authorities, according to lawyers and activists who spoke with The Canadian Press.

TORONTO - An Edmonton woman is facing deportation from Canada this month after a college admission letter that secured her entry into the country five years ago turned out to be fake.

Avnish Nanda of Nanda & Company law firm, which has taken on Kaur's case, said she's the type of person Canada wants. “She's contributed so much, and she has the kind of character commitment to this country that we want in young immigrants.” Nanda said immigration officials in both India and Canada believed that Kaur's college admission letter was legitimate.

The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada said it's required to hold an admissibility hearing in cases where the CBSA alleges that someone is inadmissible to enter or remain in Canada.
