I can hear you saying "Things like these happen only in the USA, it would never happen in Canada." Oh, Really?!
.......At one point, officials said, Higgins got so busy he hired other American students to pose as foreigners and take their tests. They allegedly obtained fake California drivers' licenses using their own photos, but using the Arab students' names.
The Middle Eastern students were all male. The students Higgins is accused of hiring to take their tests were all white Americans -- including, in one case, a 21-year-old blond coed.
The students attended more than a dozen colleges and universities in the Los Angeles area, including California State Long Beach and Los Angeles, and junior colleges in Santa Monica and Orange County.
Higgins allegedly charged foreign students:
-- $1,400 to take the math and English placement exams.
-- $1,200 to $1,500 to take final exams and other classwork.
-- $1,000 to take the TOEFL, or English as a foreign language, entrance exam...... read the whole thing
And, in Canada :
Students have hired imposters to take tests for them, paid exam proctors to complete exams, bought essays from "experts" to submit as their own and bribed school officials to change their marks in the official records

That I chose to major in math in University must surely in and of itself signal some form of mental dysfunction.
Now we know.
