The hard-working Lang family loves Canada and toil as landscapers from sunrise to sunset to make ends meet.
They dished out almost $100,000 to a licenced immigration consultant to obtain residency in Canada only to find out the man was charged with fraud and no applications were ever filed on their behalf.
They are now facing deportation to their native Hungary and have been given until next month to leave the country.
“We have done everything that was required from us,” says Gyorgy Lang. “This man (consultant) wanted us gone and did not do anything to help us.”
Gyorgy, with wife Andrea and their daughter Agnes, arrived in Canada as refugees in 2011, and have since started a successful landscaping company.
Documents filed in court allege they were defrauded by a consultant for about $95,000 over a nine-year period.
He “manipulated both the immigration and border services process and system to ensure the applicants would have no status to remain in Canada,” court filings state. He ensured the family “would have no prospect of ever gaining status,” and would be swiftly deported.

The suspect sought a speedy deportation to defraud the family and escape criminal or civil liability, so they couldn’t appear in court proceedings against him, documents state.
Lawyer Amina Sherazee says the family has been given until late March to put their affairs in order and are to show up at Pearson airport with airline tickets ready to leave.
The family has since filed documents to remain here on Temporary Residents Permits or on humanitarian and compassionate grounds.
“My clients are victims of crime,” Sherazee says. “They are the main witnesses and complainants in a significant and serious criminal prosecution.”
She says the family are required by police to remain here to testify in court against the suspect.
Peel Regional Police, in a release, say between 2016 and 2019 several victims paid money to a registered immigration consultant who agreed to file applications on behalf of themselves and family members.
“Victims were encouraged to pay in cash,” police say. “The victims learned that no work was ever completed and the consultant ceased all communication with them.”
Police in January arrested Artem Djukic, 55, of Brampton, who was charged with defrauding the public.
Detectives allege the accused operated Soko Immigration and Consulting Services in Mississauga and that there may be more victims.
