Numerous other elements of PLC’s activities are “completely illegal,” according to Solita.
Misrepresentations and fraud were common in the contracts, the immigration consultant alleges. In one instance, while the PLC directors were in the Philippines, she discovered that the company had used her signature in agreements with new clients whom she had never met to assess whether there was a reasonable immigration pathway they could support.
“I immediately told them … ‘Hey, you are using my digital signature without my authorization,’” said Solita. “I’m not signing an immigration services document when I haven’t even met these people.”
CBC News found 17 retainer agreements that name Solita as the immigration consultant, which she says were all made fraudulently. One contract is dated the day Solita applied for the position — three days before her first day of work — while another is dated four days after she tendered her resignation.
“Overall, these documents are bogus. It doesn’t mean anything,” she said.
In an email dated April 22, 2024, Solita wrote to three of PLC’s directors to “nullify all recent retainers sent out to clients, where my digital signature was applied” and suggested all existing clients be given the opportunity to pull out of existing agreements.
