Yolanda Simao Immigration Scam story

Yolanda Simao has been an immigration consultant who has had her fare share of controversy, she was found guilty of misconduct by the Canadian Society Of Immigration Consultants when an investigation report by the Toronto Star called Lost In Immigration was published, these series talked about the dark side of the immigration business in Canada, they showed several cases where innocent immigrants were abused by immigration consultants with shady practices.

Yolanda Simao was featured in the article called Freewheeling Recruiters, this article basically explains how 24 truck drivers where promised jobs paying up to $60,000 and language training in Canada.

Yolanda Simao was the person in charge to arrange the truck drivers job offers and work permits, she even wrote a letter to the truck drivers:

She never got job offers to the truck drivers nor get them work permits, and to top it all off, the Korean drivers paid English classes at Yolanda's school as per the article and in her testimony on the hearings of the disciplinary Council of the  Canadian Society Of Immigration Consultants, here is a different (backup).

Yolanda Simao insists the trick drivers were not her clients nor her responsibility, but the disciplinary council thought differently and found her guilty of misconduct, see the decisions
here and here and the Toronto Start published the how she was found guilty of misconduct.

This has not been the first time Yolanda Simao has been in an Immigration controversy, she has had several problems with her behaviour, in 2012 they went to Portugal looking for construction workers and they even went to United States to promote their work two months after the leader of the construction union was saying this was not an opportunity but a scam, and making further investigation they saw that Yolanda Simao was already found guilty before of misconduct.
