A Vancouver judge has ordered a Chinese immigration consulting outfit to pay an Ontario lawyer $400,000 for falsifying his signature on 20 applications to ...
“I find that Welltrend Beijing breached an implied term of its agreement with Bao by attaching his name to 25 applications to the Nova Scotia provincial nominee immigration program and forging his signatures on those applications,” Justice F. Matthew Kirchner said in a recent decision.
“Welltrend Beijing is an immigration consulting firm in China but at the material times was not registered as a qualified immigration consultant in Canada. It therefore required a Canadian lawyer to sign off on its clients’ applications to this country,” Kirchner said in his written decision dated Sept. 6.But the agreement was limited to applications made to the Government of Canada, Bao told the court.
When he contacted Welltrend about the applications, the company confirmed the five successful applicants were its clients, according to the judge’s decision. That same month, MacDonnell wrote to Welltrend inquiring about the forgeries, noting the Nova Scotia Office of Immigration had identified 36 applications in its files originating with the Beijing outfit or its related companies.
