For teh first time, Saskatchewan has charged someone with providing immigration services without a license.
the case appears to be connected to the experience of TingTing Biao, whose story CBC News reported last year.
Biao described arriving in Canada from China and spending her savings, tens of thousands of dollars, on an immigration scheme that quickly turned into a nightmare.
Biao paid $40,000 to Jun Su and June HR Solutions, an immigration company in Saskatoon, in exchange for immigration advice that offered what looked like a clear path to permanent residency.
Instead, she and her family returned home frustrated and broke after realizing Su is not a licensed immigration consultant.
At the time, Su told CBC she serves as an assistant to her husband, Zheng Tao Li, who is a licensed consultant.
su said she gives advice based on his guidance and her years of experience.

The Biao Family’s Attempted Immigration to Canada
TingTing Biao and her family initially sought Canadian residency through a temporary work permit in January, but their application was rejected by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The rejection letter cited concerns that Biao would not leave Canada after her work permit expired, inconsistencies in her application, and a lack of clarity regarding the purpose of her visit.
Detail:
biao’s initial attempt involved applying for a work permit, but IRCC expressed doubts about her intention to return to China. The rejection highlighted concerns about her establishing family ties in Canada and the lack of a clear plan for departure. This initial setback led biao to seek further assistance, ultimately engaging the services of an immigration consultant.
Allegations Against Immigration Consultant Su
Following the rejection of her initial application, TingTing Biao alleges she was advised by immigration consultant Su to pursue an investment visa requiring a $100,000 CAD investment in a business outside of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. CBC News reported that Su is now facing charges related to this advice.
Detail:
The investment visa route also had stringent requirements, including a minimum net worth of $250,000 CAD, a Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) level of 4 in English, and demonstrable business experience – none of which Biao possessed. Biao ultimately abandoned this path after realizing she did not meet the criteria and had fatigued her financial resources.
Current Legal Status of Su
Su is currently facing charges and is scheduled to appear in Saskatoon provincial court on February 18, 2026. The Saskatchewan Courts website provides information on court proceedings, though specific details of the charges against Su where not immediately available as of January 15, 2026.

CBC News reported that authorities were unable to immediately contact Biao for comment regarding the charges against Su. The case is ongoing, and the outcome will depend on the evidence presented in court.
IRCC Response and Regulations
Immigration, Refugees and citizenship Canada (IRCC) is responsible for administering Canada’s immigration programs and ensuring compliance with the immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
