Several cheated in Canada job permit, visa fraud
Surat: A complaint alleging fraud of Rs 17 lakh has been filed against the operator of Sky Macron Immigration, located in Central Bazaar within the Vesu police station area. The operator allegedly enticed individuals by promising work permits and visas for countries including Canada, collected substantial sums of money, and then disappeared overnight after shutting down the office. Sanjay Lathiya, 30, a resident of Tagdi village in Bhavnagar, came across the company's advertisement offering visa and work permit services on Instagram in August 2024. He followed the page and contacted the number provided. Jenil Prajapati, who answered the call, instructed Sanjay to bring his original documents and passport to their office. At the office, Sanjay met Jenil and his partners, Ankita Mistry and Rajesh Shah. They informed him that the complete process — including the visa, air ticket, work permit, and medical expenses — for Canada would cost Rs 25 lakh. They collected his passport and documents. On Jenil's instructions, Sanjay initially paid Rs 5 lakh and later a total of Rs 17 lakh in installments for the visa process. In March 2025, Jenil and his partners sent a letter stating that a job letter would soon arrive at their office.
