A Montreal man accused of helping dozens of people submit false immigration documents may have left Canada, according to the Canada Border Services Agency.
Abul Kasim, 42, is facing several charges after a CBSA investigation allegedly uncovered evidence that he helped 65 people make false claims or provide misleading information in visa and asylum applications between 2022 and 2024.
Kasim was arrested but failed to appear in court on July 28. The CBSA believes he left Canada in June 2025, and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.
He faces charges related to facilitating illegal entry into Canada, false information in immigration applications and the use of forged passports.
The allegations have not been proven in court.
