Absolutely right way to minimize the fake profiles. There should be a charge while submitting the profile.I agree with the fake profiles. It has been a serious headache for all the genuine people. I dont understand the stupidity why they want to create a fake profile, when they cannot accept it. And we have no idea how many of the profiles are fake ones.
There is a crazy crowd this year applying for EE. But this fake profile issue cannot be overlooked, no matter how smaller their percentage is.
I tweeted twice to IRCC, but did not get a response. Some days back a lady seems to call IRCC to report this issue. They replied that send the details of the person who has done this. They will ban that person from applying to IRCC for a year. But there is no way we can report a person, as we dont have the valid details.
IMO the only way to handle this issue is to charge CAD 50 or CAD 100 atleast while submitting the EE application in pool. This can be adjusted if the person gets ITA and applies for PR; OR can be refunded back to the account in case profile expires/rejected.
These stupid people don't even understand how badly it affects the deserving candidates, one can lose points due to birthday and could lose his/her entire opportunity because one fake profile got the ITA.
