A 61-year-old woman, Sakia Mojadiddi, was charged with fraud for an alleged immigration scam targeting victims from the Middle East who wanted to bring their loved ones to Canada.
She set up an organization called Afghan Refugee Relief where she had the victims send their money and did not process their paperwork with the Canada Border Services Agency and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. She also did not have the authority to submit such paperwork and applications.
The total amount discovered to have been taken from the victims is around $40,000.
She faces:
- 3 counts of fraud over $5,000
- 3 counts of possession of proceeds obtained by crime
