Former Air Canada captain allegedly flew 900+ flights without proper license

A former Air Canada captain is accused of flying more than 900 domestic and international flights on Boeing 767/777/787 without the required airline transport pilot license, after allegedly forging credentials during his promotion in 2009. The police-led Project Icarus investigation suggests a deliberate effort to bypass safety systems; the pilot was arrested June 1 and faces seven counts including fraud and uttering forged documents. Air Canada says safety was not compromised and that an ATPL is required to command large aircraft; the pilot retired in 2025, and officials say no others are involved as the case proceeds with regulatory and criminal investigations.

"Deportation Threat Looms for 700 Indian Students in Canada"

Over 150 Indian students in Canada have been ordered to leave the country by the Canadian Border Security Agency (CBSA) after it was discovered that they arrived in the country on forged college admission letters. The students claim they were unaware of the forgeries and were duped by their immigration consultation agency in India that provided them the document. The immigration department discovered the forgeries when the students later applied for permanent residency. Experts have called on Indian authorities to crack down on immigration agencies that deceive students and urged applicants to be aware of such scams and look for registered immigration agents.
