Overview
- Australia’s migration regulator cancelled Vaneet Kaur Chadha’s registration and barred her from re‑registering for five years after ruling she is not fit to give immigration assistance.
- Officials found she submitted false or misleading information in visa applications and made statements she knew were inaccurate.
- The investigation also cited misleading online advertising, an implied link to the Department of Home Affairs, poor staff supervision, and unlawful assistance provided by someone in her business.
- OMARA opened the probe after reviewing visa applications she lodged and used Section 308 of the Migration Act to require client files and records.
- Chadha worked with Sydney‑based Royal Migration & Education Consultants, which has not been accused of wrongdoing, highlighting that enforcement targets individual conduct rather than the firm’s operations.
