Vaneet Kaur Chadha: registration cancelled by OMARA on 25 Mar 2026

What the Authority decided

On 25 March 2026, the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (the Authority) decided to cancel the registration of Ms Vaneet Kaur Chadha, (MARN 1686379) following an investigation into the Agent’s conduct.

The Agent must not be registered for a period of five years from the date of the decision.

The Authority was satisfied that the Agent breached her obligations under clauses 2.1, 2.9, 2.10, 2.12, 2.23, 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 of the former Code and sections 13, 15, 17, 18(1)(a), 18(1)(b), 20, 23 and 24 of the Code.

Authority ਨੇ ਪਾਇਆ ਕਿ Agent:

• Failed to act in accordance with the law, specifically section 312A of the Act, by failing to declare to the Department the immigration assistance she provided to clients.
• Made false and misleading statements in support of applications and to the Department, which she knew to be false or misleading.
• Engaged in false or misleading advertising, when advertising on the internet.
• Implied the existence of a relationship with the Department.
• Failed to provide proper supervision of her staff and facilitated a member of her business to provide unlawful immigration assistance.
• Failed in her duties in relation to work or services performed by persons other than RMAs.
• Failed to take reasonable steps to maintain the integrity of the migration assistance industry.
• Acted in a way that was intended to defeat the purpose of the migration law and acted in a way that was intended to evade a requirement of the migration law.

The Authority was also satisfied that the Agent was not a person of integrity, or otherwise not a fit and proper person to give immigration assistance.

ਉੱਪਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਫੈਸਲੇ ਦਾ ਸਾਰ ਇਸ ਤੋਂ ਦੁਬਾਰਾ ਪ੍ਰਸਤੁਤ ਕੀਤਾ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ Authority's published record of this decision, which also carries the decision document itself. Nothing has been added to it.

What a cancellation means if this was your agent

The registration is removed. The agent's name comes off the Register of Migration Agents and they may not give immigration assistance. A cancellation is usually accompanied by a period during which the person may not be registered again.

ਇਸ ਵੇਲੇ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਮਾਮਲੇ 'ਤੇ ਕੋਈ ਵੀ ਕੰਮ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰ ਰਿਹਾ। Treat this as urgent, and start with who the Department is writing to.

If this was your agent: the first week

1. Find out where your application actually is. If you have an ImmiAccount, log in. The clock does not stop because your representation did.
2. Check who the Department is writing to. A Form 956 makes an agent the authorised recipient, and correspondence sent to them is taken to have been given to you. A deadline sent to an inbox nobody reads is still a deadline.
3. Get your file. Your documents are yours and the Code requires them back — originals first. ਆਪਣੀ file ਵਾਪਸ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਲੈਣੀ ਹੈ.
4. Work out what was paid and what was done. ਵਿਸਥਾਰਵਾਰ ਇਨਵੌਇਸ ਅਤੇ ਰਸੀਦਾਂ ਮੰਗੋ ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ Code ਮੰਗ ਕਰਦੀ ਹੈ। Routes to recover money work better started early.
5. Complain, if there is something to complain about. A published decision does not close your own file. Where to complain, and what OMARA can and cannot do.
6. Only then, find someone else. A new agent needs the file and the dates. The first five steps are what make that first conversation useful instead of exploratory.

What this decision does not mean

It is a decision about one individual on one date. Only a person can be a registered migration agent — a company cannot — so it says nothing about anyone else at the same practice. Decisions of this kind are reviewable, and bars and suspensions expire. The register ਉਹ ਥਾਂ ਹੈ ਜਿੱਥੇ ਮੌਜੂਦਾ ਸਥਿਤੀ ਦਰਜ ਹੈ।
