Police warn Peel
residents about
travel visa scam
The Canadian Parvasi
MISSISSAUGA: Peel Regional Police have warned residents
about an on-going travel document scam in which
people are promised visitor visas, work permits and immigration
documents for their family members and relatives
in China.
Police said fraudulent
companies are
luring people through
ads in local Chinese
newspapers, promising
them to secure
travel documents, visas
and air tickets for their family members and friends
living in China so that they can travel to Canada for
work.
Convincing the victims with fake identification and
business documents, these scamsters seek cash deposits
from the victims to secure these documents.
Once the scamsters receive the money, they just disappear
and the promised documents never come and the
victims’ friends or relatives in China are left high and
dry.
According to police, the names of the companies under
which these scamsters operate are fictitious, citing
the name of one such fake company as Gao Sheng Investment
Corporation.
Secondly, the scamsters meet their victims only at the
victim’s residence or at public places such coffee shops or
restaurants, but not in any office.
Thirdly, these scamsters accept only cash and want it
upfront before providing their `services’.
Policer have cautioned people that they should check
the information given by scamsters - whether their business
address actually exists, or whether the given phone
belongs to a business and not a personal cellphone.

MISSISSAUGA: At a
roundtable on Wednesday
with professionals and executives
of the AeroCentre
here, Mayor Bonnie Crombie
promised that her city
is committed to helping local
businesses stay ahead of
the competition.
Home to leading national
and global companies, the
AeroCentre is located within
Mississauga’s Airport
Corporate Centre which
is home to over 35,000 employees
and 674 businesses.
The entire Airport Employment
Mega Zone is home to
325,000 people.
Crombie, who also
opened a new MiWay bus
shelter at the AeroCentre,
addressed concerns raised
by employees and businesses
on various issues,
including transit accessibility
and transportation
during the roundtable.
"We're here to help and
strengthen our partnership
with the companies
and professionals from the
AeroCentre. We want you
to succeed," she said.
The mayor said Mississauga
is committed to
ensuring that "we invest,
improve and expand our regionally-integrated
MiWay
public-transit network.
With today’s unveiling of a
new MiWay bus shelter at
the AeroCentre, the City of
Mississauga once again is
Canadian MP Ramesh Sangha
honoured by Punjab Congress
demonstrating its commitment
to help the businesses
of our globally competitive
Airport Corporate Centre
do business and remain
ahead of the competition."
She said improved access
to transit "helps companies
improve their ability
to recruit the best, hire
the best and maintain a
highly-skilled and talented
workforce. Transit does
not work if it is not convenient
and does not get people
where they need to go,
quickly and reliably. When
planning for Mississauga’s
own future, Council and
staff factor improving access
to job creators in our
own budget and planning
efforts"
Crombie said the opening
of the Renforth Gateway
MiWay bus-rapid
transit station within a
few weeks will make travel
to Pearson Airport and the
Bloor-Danforth subway
line easier via Highway
427.

LUDHIANA: Brampton Centre MP
Ramesh Sangha, who is currently on
India tour, has stressed the need for
more mutual cooperation between
the two countries.
Underlining the need for
strengthening ties between India
and Canada, Sangha said that it
would be favourable for both the nations
to deepen their cooperation in
various fields.
Addressing a function organized
in his honour by Punjab Pradesh
Congress Committee (PPCC) General
Secretary Pawan Dewan at Circuit
House hereon Wednesday , the
Canadian MP said, “Punjabis have
contributed a lot in the development
of Canada. Now, it is our wish that
I should also do something for the
betterment of my home state."
Sangha said that main idea behind
his tour to India is to establish
good ties with the new Congress
government in Punjab headed by
Captain Amarinder Singh, adding
that “it would help Punjabi NRIs
settled in Canada contribute for
development of Punjab in much better
way.” He also answered queries
from the gathering about proper
procedures for settling in Canada.
Speaking on the occasion, Dewan
said that Sangha had always helped
the Punjabis who wish to settle in
Canada. “The Captain Amarinder
government is bound to protect the
rights of the NRIs, which the previous
SAD-BJP regime failed to do so
in the last ten years”, he said.
Sangha was honoured by Dewan
and other dignitaries.
Prominent among those present
at the function included Gurmail
Pehalwan , Satwinder Jawaddi, Inderjeet
Kapoor, Sunil Dutt, Deepak
