Hmm, well i have read that people who arrange this kin of fraud can get a fine up to $250,000 but this is generally for immigration consultants who file multiple fraudulent cases. They may get a fine of $10,000 but i've been reading and alot of cases just arent ever taken to court cause they are understaffed when it comes to dealing with frauds.

Call CIC and see what they advise to do to report the incident.

It is called misreperesentation and you may be barred from ever entering into Canada again if they find out. That s the penalty imposed on the applicant and sponsored person.
