In an advisory to Indian students affected due to closure of three institutions in Canada, the Indian High Commission in Ottawa has asked to file a complaint with the Ministry of Higher Education, Government of Quebec, if there is any difficulty in getting the deposited fee reimbursed.

These affected students were studying in the three colleges which have been closed due to bankruptcy.

The matter came to light when some students contacted Indian High Commission and informed about the closure of the colleges. Located in the province of Quebec the three institutions  — CCSQ College, M College and CDE College  — were run by Rising Phoenix International Inc.

The advisory mentioned that the Indian High Commission was in touch with the Government of Canada and the Government of the State of Quebec, as well as elected Canadian representatives of the Indian community, regarding the issue of these students. Efforts are being made to provide assistance to the affected students and to negotiate resolve the issue.

 

The High Commission said if students have any difficulty in reimbursement of their fees or transfer of fees, they can file a complaint with the Ministry of Higher Education, Government of Quebec.

The provincial government of Quebec has also come in support of the students and advised them to contact directly the institutions where they are registered, and if they find any difficulty in reimbursement of their fees or transfer of fees, they should approach the Ministry of Higher Education.

The advisory called upon Indian students planning to pursue higher education in Canada, to inquire about the institution before making any payment to the institutions.

“Also, they should also ask for a certificate of recognition by the Canadian or provincial government before taking admission. The advisory states to check the institutions through the government-run website and not to make any payment to any unverified person/institution offering student visa to the students,” said the advisory.
