Faizul Islam to face charges under IRPA Act.

December 16, 2021BY Meghana

The Canada Border Services Agency and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are committed to protect the public from unethical and unauthorized immigration consultants to maintain the integrity of Canada’s immigration system. All allegations involving the integrity of immigration programs are taken very seriously and fully investigated by the CBSA and RCMP to ensure that the security of our borders is not compromised.

Today, the CBSA (Criminal Investigations Section) and the RCMP (Transnational Serious and Organized Crime Operations), announced that Faizul Islam was extradited from Los Angeles, California, to Canada via Toronto Pearson International Airport on October 21, 2021.Islam has been returned to Canada to face charges under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and the Citizenship Act.

These charges are the result of a five-year long investigation conducted by the CBSA. It is alleged that he ran a sophisticated, for-profit immigration and citizenship fraud operation in the Greater Toronto Area.

Zahid Sohail and Naveed Khaliq have also been charged under the IRPA for their suspected involvement in these fraudulent activities.In July 2019, following an extensive investigation, CBSA’s Criminal Investigations Section in Toronto executed a search warrant to obtain evidence at a business, FN Solutions, located on Ridgeway Drive in Mississauga, Ontario. Several other enterprises, all with links to Islam, including Faizan Apparel Inc. and B2B Apparel Inc., operated out of the location.

The CBSA and RCMP allege that the employer, Faizul Islam, and his employees advised and assisted clients in providing misleading and untruthful statements on citizenship and immigration-related applications.
