In 1981, 1047 claims for refugee status were filed by Indian nationals. Of the 400 that have been considered none have been accepted. "Unscrupulous travel agents", it seems, swindled hundreds of would-be immigrants, sometimes out of everything they owned, for information on how to exploit Canada's refugee policy to move here.
