Canada’s Mass Visa Cancellation Proposal: Concern for Indian and Bangladeshi Applicants

The Canadian government is likely to come up with a Mass Visa Cancellation Programme that could cause serious repercussions for applicants from India and Bangladesh. As per a CBC News report, internal documents suggest that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), along with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and U.S. partners, has formed a task force to identify and revoke fraudulent visa applications.
