Montreal Man Allegedly Facilitated Fake Visas | Ottawa News

A Montreal man, Abul Kasim, 42, is facing serious charges after allegedly orchestrating a massive fraud scheme to help over 60 people enter Canada using fake documents, false visas, and forged passports. Operating from 2022 to 2024, he reportedly impersonated immigration consultants with offices across Canada, France, and Bangladesh, enabling fraudulent refugee claims and temporary visas that led to permanent residency. Authorities uncovered evidence during a May 2025 raid, and though Kasim fled Canada in June 2025, an arrest warrant has been issued. Charges include conspiracy, illegal entry facilitation, and counseling lies — all still allegations pending trial. This case underscores the global scale of immigration fraud and the ongoing efforts to secure borders.
