WINNIPEG -- A Winnipeg man is facing charges for allegedly committing fraud and acting as an unauthorized immigration consultant.
The Canada Border Services Agency says Hae Suk Yoon, who is 66, faces five counts under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and one under the Criminal Code.
The agency alleges that between March 31, 2009 and Nov. 4, 2014, Yoon acted as a paid immigration consultant when he was not licensed to do so.
It says he both misrepresented and counselled foreign nationals to misrepresent material facts to immigration officials.
The charges follow an investigation that was launched by the agency in February 2012, based on a tip.
Yoon appeared in court on Monday and will come before a judge again on Oct. 31.
