Chandigarh Commission Orders Refund to Student Over Failed Canadian Study Visa Promise
A Chandigarh consumer commission ordered a visa consultancy firm to refund Rs 12.35 lakh and pay compensation to 21-year-old student Aastha Saini after it was found that the firm failed to secure the promised admission and Canadian study visa. The consultancy issued documents indicating admission to Academy of Learning in Canada, but the institution confirmed no record existed. The commission ruled this as deficiency in service and unfair trade practice, awarding Rs 20,000 for harassment and litigation costs.
