Immigration minister ‘deeply shocked’ by 100 cases of alleged fraud

Quebec’s immigration minister said she was “deeply shocked” after a bureaucrat allegedly issued 100 false Quebec selection certificates.

“This situation shakes my confidence, and I expect the full truth to come to light. Immigrating to Quebec is a privilege that cannot be bought,” wrote Catherine Gentilcore in a statement on Saturday.

The minister was reacting to a news release published earlier this week by Quebec’s anti-corruption commissioner — the Commissaire à la lutte contre la corruption (CLCC) — which stated that Marilena Ida was charged with breach of trust and forgery.
