Provincial regulator orders Granville College to refund $10K after misleading an international student | CBC News

The summary bot didn't pick this part up: ''Gaba also told Kahlon that the program of study was changed with Sharma's consent and provided him with a student enrollment contract signed by Sharma and her father on Aug. 19, 2022. 

But Sharma says she had never seen this document before the college shared it with Kahlon.

And her father, whose signature appears to be on the document, died in 2015..''

If this is true either somebody in Granville's administration forged two signatures to get out of paying back 10k or the Student Shivani Sharma forged her father's signature. Is it more likely that a shady private college did a shady thing or that an international student betting her life savings and her family's future on getting a Canadian visa used her dead father's signature knowingly.

How are these fucking scum not in jail. Canada’s smugness about not being corrupt is such horseshit. As long as you rob people with a company instead of weapons, you’re fine.

She paid $13500 in college fees. The govt found the college guilty of fraud and made them refund her $10300. Is anybody else seeing an issue here? This is insanity.

These often seem to also be an issue with shady "advisors" in the other country working with shady institutions here.

I wonder if Anil Kumar was potentially involved in the paperwork. A lot of these sketchy diploma-mill institutions seem to like to use those situations as they blame the offshore "consultant" - despite it being damn well obvious they know what's going on and it being central to their business - with both the students and Canada get screwed.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Shivani Sharma says she dreamed of coming to Canada for higher education to get a better job, and to bring her husband and four-year old son here one day.

The PTIB has also launched an investigation into the college after a previous CBC News article on accusations of shortchanging international students through misleading tactics.

Granville College told CBC News in a statement that plagiarism is not tolerated on any platform, a rule all students have to agree to upon enrollment.

Sharma says she also learned her studies at Granville weren't going to count toward getting a three-year post-graduate work permit from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, — which she would need to apply for permanent residency.

Harit Gaba, Granville's international relations director, replied to Kahlon explaining that the online delivery was due to the COVID-19 restrictions, and that Sharma is not eligible for a refund.

's minister of post-secondary education, declined an interview request, but in a statement confirmed that "based on previous reporting and complaints, staff at the PTIB launched an inspection into Granville College that is currently underway."
