In an era where immigration dreams collide with digital deception, some conversations go beyond awareness — they ignite urgency. Episode 6 of True Talks with Shah dives straight into the heart of Canada’s immigration crisis, exposing scams, false promises, and the emotional realities of those who risk everything for a better life.
🎙️ Featuring Prajwal Shah (@prajwalshah8787) and Fardeen Siddiqui (@frdn_sid) — Director of Steady Start Immigration Solutions Inc., this episode is a raw, unfiltered exploration of what really happens when ambition meets exploitation.
Filmed by the creative team at 4X90 Studio, this powerful discussion doesn’t just inform — it challenges every viewer to think critically before taking their next immigration step.
🎯 The Theme: Immigration Isn’t What It Used to Be
As Fardeen Siddiqui explains, Canada’s immigration landscape has shifted dramatically.
It’s no longer about “anyone can come.” Immigration is stricter, the criteria sharper, and the documentation more scrutinized. Yet, the right profiles are still succeeding — those who prepare, not just hope.
In Fardeen’s words, “It’s not about shortcuts. It’s about being the right candidate.”
From study permits to express entry and work visas, the message is clear — transparency and preparation are key. At Steady Start Immigration Solutions Inc., every client receives personalized, ethical guidance tailored to their long-term success.
🚨 The Rise of Immigration Scams & Fake Payrolls
In one of the most eye-opening segments of Episode 6, Fardeen reveals a growing threat: fake and scripted payrolls.
Many fraudulent “consultants” create shell companies or bogus job offers to exploit the system — deceiving not only the Canadian government but also innocent applicants who spend years of savings chasing false promises.
“Earlier, genuine skills spoke for themselves,” says Fardeen. “Now, spotting the difference between real and fake has become critical.”
These scams not only ruin lives but also tighten regulations for everyone — making legitimate candidates struggle. That’s why choosing a licensed RCIC like Fardeen Siddiqui (RCIC #R708335) matters more than ever.
If you’re unsure about your immigration plan or fear you’ve been misled, it’s never too late to seek proper advice.

💔 The Truth About Spousal Visas & “Contract Marriages”
Another controversial topic discussed in the episode is the rising misuse of spousal open work permits and marriage-based immigration frauds.
While the government’s intention was to help families reunite, fake “contract marriages” have turned it into a business. These unethical acts make it harder for genuine couples to prove their authenticity.
As Prajwal Shah and Fardeen point out — behind every fraudulent application are dozens of honest couples now facing unnecessary delays, interviews, or denials.
“Immigration is about lives, not likes,” Fardeen emphasizes. “Too many consultants are chasing social media fame instead of client success.”
Real guidance isn’t about viral reels — it’s about real results.

🧭 TR to PR Pathway — Hope or Hype?
The conversation also revisits the much-debated TR to PR (Temporary Resident to Permanent Resident) program — and whether it might return under Mark Carney’s leadership.
Fardeen remains practical: “If it comes back, it won’t be the same. Canada is learning from the past.”
Rather than waiting for programs that may never reopen, candidates are encouraged to explore Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP), Express Entry, and Atlantic Immigration pathways — all available through Steady Start Immigration Solutions.
Being proactive with documentation, IELTS preparation, and job readiness can make a difference between approval and rejection.
🧳 Asylum & Reverse Immigration — The Desperate Side
One of the darkest truths explored is the surge in asylum seekers and even reverse immigration — those leaving Canada after failing to find stability.
The cost of living, job scarcity, and misinformation have forced many newcomers to rethink their choices.
As Fardeen notes, “People are arriving with hope but no plan. Immigration requires clarity, not chaos.”
Some are turning toward countries like Australia or New Zealand, perceiving them as safer or simpler options. But every nation has its challenges — and understanding them beforehand is crucial.
For anyone feeling stuck or uncertain, professional guidance is available.

🧠 Mindset Matters More Than the Visa
Before you decide to move abroad, ask yourself why.
Don’t follow trends. Don’t get swept by “easy PR” promises.
Your success won’t depend on your visa; it depends on your mindset, clarity, and preparation.
In the episode, Fardeen shares:
“Moving countries doesn’t guarantee success. It’s your mindset, not your visa, that defines your journey.”
Whether you’re a student, worker, or entrepreneur — plan with purpose. Build your skills, understand your options, and seek ethical support from licensed experts.

👶 The Daycare Shortage — A Hidden Crisis
One issue few talk about is the daycare shortage in Niagara and surrounding regions. Parents often hear the same line — “We’ll have a seat in six months.”
As Fardeen highlights, this shortage impacts working families deeply.
Private daycare options exist, but trust remains a major concern.
“It’s not about availability,” Fardeen says. “It’s about reliability.”
These are the challenges immigrants don’t see before arriving — yet they shape everyday life in Canada.
Real preparation goes beyond paperwork; it’s about understanding lifestyle realities too.
💼 Entrepreneurship: Turning Passion into Progress
While the episode exposes harsh truths, it also celebrates resilience.
Fardeen shares how his passion for electronics repair evolved from a side hustle on Facebook Marketplace to managing a small Tanger Outlet shop.
From fixing iPhones and MacBooks to running a successful immigration firm — his story proves that hard work and curiosity can turn small beginnings into big success.
His journey is living proof of the Canadian dream — one built not on shortcuts, but on consistency.

🧩 The Role of Trust in Immigration Consulting
Every year, thousands of applicants hand over their 2–3 years of hard work and savings to immigration consultants. That level of trust deserves integrity.
Yet, as Fardeen shares, too many consultants are focused on content over clients. Their feeds are filled with reels and photo ops, while the real cases go neglected.
The result? Lost opportunities, rejected files, and broken trust.
That’s why Steady Start Immigration Solutions operates on three principles:
✅ Honesty
✅ Transparency
✅ Client-first results
You’re not just another case number. You’re a story worth handling with care.

💬 Canada vs Australia / New Zealand — Which Is Better?
The debate continues: Where do immigrants thrive best?
While Australia and New Zealand are seen as easier entry points, Canada still offers unmatched diversity, safety, and long-term settlement options — if approached correctly.
Success isn’t about the country you choose; it’s about how you navigate the system and prepare yourself for it.
