The immigration minister intervened in Singh’s case on Feb. 13, 2023, alleging his claim lacked credibility because his “narrative is strikingly similar to those of others, including individuals who travelled to Canada with him and, as such, is not genuine. In support of this allegation, they produce evidence to demonstrate that his narrative contains language, phrases and other similarities to five other claimants who travelled to Canada with the claimant from India, and nearly two hundred other (basis of claim) narratives disclosed by claimants from India. This evidence stems from a Canada Border Services Agency analysis of claims submitted with the assistance of Mr. Pawar, the immigration consultant who represented Mr. Singh.”
