Allegations Of Fraud And Misrepresentation Under The Yukon Business Nominee Program

Business Immigration Under Scrutiny

Two civil actions currently before the Yukon Supreme Court allege serious misconduct under the Yukon Business Nominee Program (the "Program"), including fraud, misrepresentation, and breach of fiduciary duty by parties offering immigration consulting and investment services.

The plaintiffs claim they were induced to invest significant sums into business ventures ultimately controlled by individuals with undisclosed personal ties to their consultants. Both now allege significant financial loss, failed businesses that were mired in self-dealing by the families of the immigration consultant in question, and failed immigration outcomes that were promised by the consultants. These proceedings raise concerns about regulatory oversight and the professional duties owed to foreign nationals participating in nominee-based immigration programs.
