The Waterloo Regional Police Service is searching for a 34-year-old Kitchener man following an investigation into immigration fraud. Harsharan Ahluwalia is wanted on an outstanding warrant for allegedly tricking people who were looking for help with work visas in Kitchener, Ontario.
Investigators say the man posed as an immigration lawyer to take money from victims between May 2024 and July 2025. He currently faces three counts of fraud under $5,000 and three counts of “passing off,” which is a term used when someone pretends to be a professional like a lawyer.
Police believe there may be more victims in the region and are looking into other incidents that happened in March 2025 and January 2026. This investigation began after a victim filed a report with officers on February 20, 2026.
Anyone who may have been targeted by this individual is encouraged to contact the police. Authorities believe that additional residents might have been affected by the scam but have not yet reported their experiences.
