The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is investigating Canadian colleges accused of facilitating the trafficking of Indian nationals into the United States. The probe, initiated after a tragic 2022 incident where a Gujarat family died attempting to cross the Canada-US border, highlights illegal student visa misuse. The investigation has revealed a network involving 112 Canadian colleges, 1,700 agents in India, and 25,000 students trafficked annually. ED has frozen assets and conducted searches in multiple cities, uncovering links between Canadian institutions and the trafficking operation, with two men convicted for their role in the smuggling ring.
