澳洲风景如画,生活安逸,又是一个移民大国,每年都会有很多人赴澳旅游、探亲、工作、学习。随着澳洲的人越来越多,移民中介这一行业月越来越兴盛,街上的移民中介随处可见,多如牛毛。然而,这篇繁荣景象的背后却暗藏隐忧:中介资质良莠不齐,很多没有注册的移民中介,或已经注册但实力欠缺的移民中介经常会误导客户,为了赚钱而对客户进行欺诈和蒙骗。
日前,MIA就揭露了一个反面典型。Eddie KANG打着所谓的“注册移民中介”的幌子,实则没有该资质,却用欺瞒的手段为客户递签,他递上去的签证大多数都被拒,而他自己却可以拿着不菲的服务费逍遥法外。目前MIA正着手逮捕他。
详情请见MIA原文如下:
The Migration Institute of Australia (MIA) welcomes the news of the arrest of Sydney businessman Eddie Kang for fraud offences related to migration.
National President of the MIA, Ms Angela Chan FMIA, said that she is concerned by the allegations revealed on Channel 7 News that Eddie Kang had lodged hundreds of visa applications which were refused by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection, and that he had allegedly charged the visa applicants exorbitant fees for his services.
“Eddie Kang has been described in news reports as an “immigration agent”. Nothing could be further from the truth as he has never been a registered migration agent and should not be described as one”, said Ms Chan.
“In Australia it is illegal to provide immigration assistance unless one is registered with the Migration Agents Registration Authority. There are a few exceptions to this, such as being a family member of a visa applicant. Eddie Kang has never been registered, and does not meet any of the exceptions”, said Ms Chan.
“The MIA has long advocated the Department take strong action against unregistered practice and this case shows that the Government must now enact legislation to prevent unregistered people from being able to lodge visa applications. This case demonstrates the need for the government to protect vulnerable visa applicants against unregistered operators”, said Ms Chan.
AMS建议大家在选择中介时候,一定要选择有资质且有经验的高质量中介为自己服务,切莫为了省钱而叫自己后悔莫及。
