Canada seeks power to cancel visas for groups from India and Bangladesh due to fraud concerns

Canada seeks authority to cancel visas in bulk for groups from India due to fraud concerns. Immigration officials are scrutinizing applications from India and Bangladesh. The Canadian government, in conjunction with U.S. agencies, aims to identify and cancel fraudulent visitor visa applications. This initiative specifically targets "country-specific challenges" in India and Bangladesh. This proposed measure is part of Bill C-2, with the visa cancellation provision now designated as C-12, reflecting concerns over increased asylum claims from India and potential processing delays.
