A Brampton-based immigration consultant of Indian origin has closed his Instagram account following a row over videos in which he flaunted a luxury watch reportedly worth $300,000. The consultant, who went by the Instagram handle “Canadian Visa King” and Facebook username ‘Visa King office Canada Channi Bhai,’ went viral after posting clips boasting about the number of Canadian visas he claimed to have secured for clients.
Some people said he was taking advantage of migrants who wanted to move to Canada. They also said his flashy lifestyle made immigration look easier and more successful than it really is, hiding the financial struggles many face. Others accused immigration consultants of taking advantage of system loopholes, including prioritising relatives or accepting bribes.
