Immigration fraud: Letter from an Israeli citizen who describes how immigration fraud works

Good Day Sir/Madam
I am writing from Tel Aviv in Israel. In 2007, my family and I entered Canada from a family vacation from Israel/USA through the Niagara falls ON and made a false refugee claim as if we just landed from Africa (Ethiopia/Ghana). We were helped by some people from the Ethiopian Community church as to file the claim of refugee in Canada.
However, we went to our hearing in August 10th 2009 and got accepted as convention refugees based upon the fact that we are Africans because we did not disclose to the officials that we all have Israeli Citizenship and that we have never lived in Ethiopia. When we came to Canada, we used fake names in our refugee applications, we lied in our claim on abuse and torture in Ethiopia which in fact we have never lived there. We had fake identifications for ourselves and the kids we came with (2 of them) sent from Ethiopia by my wife`s sister.
Our names, and those of our two children at the time, were fake – they were not our real names as registered in Israel. None of those names and or the information on our pif was genuine. We received already drafted pif (I have it with me) from someone who was already in Canada also from Israel and we just changed names and places to suit my wifes PIF. Names of siblings and etc were all Fake.
My wife and I together with our 2 kids entered Canada in 2007 on a visit from Orlando. At that time, I did not think that I would be staying in Canada for long, however, my wife wanted to stay after we visited some friends in Toronto who are also Israelis but claimed status as Ethiopians as they thought us the way to do the same.
As a result she forced me to stay with her and our children. My wife at that time arranged fraudulent identification from her sister in Ethiopia. In particular, fraudulent Ethiopian identification, birth certificates for the kids and drivers License which she later translated hers to English in obtaining a Canadian Drivers License but she has never driven in Life.
We then proceeded to apply for refugee status based on the fact that we all lived in Ethiopia, which we never did. We did obtain refugee status in Canada. A year after our
arrival,my wifes family joined us from Israel the same way that we came and also filed a Bogus claim just like us.
Currently my wifes cousin and his family, my wifes sister and her family and many more who are all Bonafide Israeli Citizens but claimed to have just arrived from Ethiopia. Now,in 2009 July,I got an Idea of why my wife so badly wanted to stay in Canada and thus forcing me to stay and asked her that we live and return to Israel where I had my permanent job and home.
She refused and decided that her chances of staying in Canada will be better if she claims that I am abusive towards her and the kids.
When i decided to return i asked to return with the kids but she refused and that was when i was told if i ever reveal the secret of how we stayed in Canada i will be made abusive husband and will be in Jail whiles she stays.
Now my findings on why my wife so badly wanted to stay in Canada brought our marital breakdown. When our marital breakdown started I offered to return to Israel with the kids but she refused.
I was advised to let her move to the shelter so that we can get a subsidized housing to help us in accommodation which I declined. In December 2010,when she saw that I still want to move back to Israel but I will not move back without alerting the CIC of our fraud and ask for apology she moved to the same church which the pastor helped in making the fake claim and was sent to the shelter to seek refuge as a battered woman which infact was never true.
There wasn’t any Police involvement and I therefore contacted the Toronto Police at Scarborough (Eglinton East) and has spoken to Officer Omsby.I also contacted the CBSA CIC, IRB and vacated my status willingly and took my 2 Israeli born Kids and left Canada under a deportation none accompanied departure to Israel where I currently live with my 2 older kids peacefully.
I have physically contacted the CBSA myself on our fraud before my departure to Israel. The CBSA currently has my wifes original Israeli Passport with them. Our marital breakdown breakdown occurred when I found out in Canada that my wife had an affair with another man when we were residing in Israel in the family home and Aborted a child out of it.
Because that news has broken in our neighborhood when we came to our vacation in USA/Canada she decided not to return but never told me of such till an old neighbor in Israel contacted me in 2009 and alerted me of that news.
Whiles in Canada we had 2 kids born there and are Canadian citizens who currently reside in Canada with my Ex wife who probably had her vacation of status hearing on October 12th.
Currently there is a family court proceeding going on in Toronto family court being paid for by Legal aid Ontario on the 2 kids born there to come and join those with me already in Israel whiles my ex wife is fighting to keep them in Canada in anticipation that she files for a Humanitarian and compassionate application based upon the fact that she is afraid of coming back to Israel because of me and also there are 2 Canadian born kids with her.
The Family court proceedings is still going on due to the fact that Canada immigration and the Ontario government is not doing their job on her effectively and thus allowing her after all the fraud to use the system to keep the kids in there even though those kids are entitled to Israeli Passports and can come to Israel. She is staying because the Government is paying the
lawyer for the court proceedings at Jarvis and keep her status till now.
I have read the news on Immigration fraud in Canada and regret every bit of it and therefore my apologies.
During the vacation hearing that i vacated my status willingly i gave a letter of apology to the panel member and the CBSA officer (MD Sharon Thomas-CBSA officer. Our files were separated that day because my ex wanted to waste time whiles i was ready to leave.
I must confirm that there are other Israelis currently residing in Canada with Canadian Passports claiming to have come from Ethiopia but are all fake.
I can provide any information you will like to reach lots of the fraudsters including but not limited to my ex who is currently living under the fake name in Scarborough in ON trying humanitarian and compassionate because there are 2 kids were born there.
Thank you.

reach most Israeli fraudsters in Canada.

Why is the Canadian government allowing the woman to stay?They both lied and should be treated as such.He willingly left which shows remorse of his act,but she is still in Canada spending tax payers money which i think she should be jailed for.
According to the IRB act,misrepresentation is no excuse and could be fined and jailed and deported.
