Toronto Woman Defrauds Immigrants of $2 Million in Immigration Scam
Toronto Immigration Scam Exposes Over 600 Victims – Know How to Stay Safe
Immigration fraud continues to be a serious concern for prospective migrants. In a recent case, over 600 individuals — mostly from the Philippines — were allegedly defrauded by a Toronto-based employment agency.
Who is Involved? – The GoWest Jobs International Fraud Case
Imelda “Mel” Fronda Saluma, 46, owner of GoWest Jobs International, is at the center of this multi-million-dollar immigration scam. Based in Toronto, her agency allegedly collected over $2 million through fraudulent immigration services.
How the Scam Worked
Each client paid around $5,000 in three installments: job matching, employment contracts, and visa issuance.
Payments were requested in cash only — a major red flag for immigration fraud.
Clients received falsified employment contracts, work visas, and immigration documents.
Many of the victims were Filipino immigrants who learned about Saluma through word-of-mouth in the Filipino-Canadian community.
Consequences of Using Fake Documents
Clients unknowingly submitted fraudulent immigration documents such as forged employment contracts and work visas to Citizenship and Immigration Canada. As a result:
Many were denied entry into Canada.
Some received a 2-year ban from reapplying for immigration.
Agnes Aquino, a victim of the scam, shared with the Toronto Star: “Even though we always had to pay in cash, we didn’t suspect anything… We had this blind faith.”
Protect Yourself – How to Avoid Immigration Fraud
Immigration scams are often disguised as helpful services. Here are key verification steps and tips to avoid falling into similar traps:
Never trust agencies asking for cash payments without receipts.
Verify immigration consultants or lawyers through provincial bar associations.
Always confirm the authenticity of transcripts, migration certificates, and medium of instruction letters before submitting them to immigration authorities.
Use reputed services for WES verification and credential assessments to avoid document rejection.
