Mario Bellissimo Cautions Against Ghost Consultants

February 3, 2010

Mario Bellissimo was contacted today by CTV and CBC to provide his opinion on recent efforts by Immigration to crack down on “ghost” consultants (consultants who are not licensed).  These “ghost” consultants complete applications for “clients” for a fee, and often wreak havoc in people’s lives.

This is obviously a dangerous step for consumers looking for assistance with their citizenship, refugee and immigration matters. Mario Bellissimo has seen many instances of consumers who have been duped by “ghost” consultants and is quoted as saying:

“As lawyers we come across many cases that end up being unnecessarily complicated and sometimes unsalvageable  because of the shoddy work of fraudulent consultants. It is in the government and consumers’ best interests to fix the law so that filling out forms for a fee and without a license is against the law.”
