Chinese Visa Students

In early 2018, Lisa investigated the system bringing international students to Canada following the disappearances of several Chinese visa students from Vancouver and Toronto who went missing after receiving scam calls. 

The Investigators: Behind-the-scenes conversation 

​​Part 1: 'You'll get a dead body': Father 'distraught' over daughter's fake kidnapping ​

​Part 2: Experts say young foreign students left vulnerable by unregulated system 

​Follow-up: 'We are very, very cheap labour': Families hosting visa students say York board not paying enough

Lisa's series of stories resulted in a follow-up story about one of the biggest school boards in the country and the way it runs its homestay program for international students.
