Vaneet Kaur Chadha, who once publicly advised Indian visa applicants to “stay truthful and avoid future complications,” has now had her migration agent registration cancelled in Australia after findings that she engaged in the very conduct she warned against.
Chadha, who worked with Sydney-based Royal Migration and Education Consultants, has been struck off for five years following an investigation by the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA), as reported by The Noticer. The firm itself has not been accused of wrongdoing.
Registered as a migration agent since 2016, Chadha came under scrutiny after OMARA reviewed visa applications she had submitted to Australia’s Department of Home Affairs and identified serious concerns regarding her professional conduct.
According to the findings, she failed to act in accordance with migration law by not properly declaring immigration assistance provided to clients. She was also found to have submitted false and misleading information, including statements she knew to be untrue in support of visa applications.
The investigation further noted instances of misleading online advertising, implying connections with the Department of Home Affairs that did not exist, and failing to adequately supervise staff involved in migration-related work. OMARA also found that unlawful immigration assistance had been facilitated within her business operations.
Additional breaches included failing to meet professional obligations regarding non-registered individuals and not taking reasonable steps to maintain the integrity of the migration advice profession. The authority concluded that her actions were intended to bypass migration laws and evade regulatory requirements.
OMARA ultimately described Chadha as “not a person of integrity” and “not a fit and proper person to give immigration assistance.”
The irony has also drawn attention online, as past promotional videos from her employer’s social media accounts show Chadha advising clients to maintain honesty in visa processes. In one such message, she warned applicants that “AI can now detect fake documents” and urged them to “stay truthful and avoid future complications,” adding that “your integrity matters.”
Her earlier statements are now being widely circulated in contrast to the findings that led to her disqualification.
