Grow your Chinese client base

According to the 2016 census, the percentage of overseas born ­migrants in Sydney residents from China has risen an ­incredible 500 per cent over the last 25 years. For the first time, the Harbour City is now attracting more migrants from China than from the UK. For migration agents, these changing global movement patterns offer an unprecedented opportunity to grow your client base by marketing their services to China. 

In this context, we are pleased to announce a partnership between Migration Alliance and Sinorbis – an integrated digital marketing platform designed to connect Western companies with Chinese demand. The software can help migration agents reach potential clients in China by:   

  • Removing the technical barriers usually associated with building a website that can be accessed behind the Great Firewall
  • Making it easy and affordable to create a Chinese website and landing pages optimised for local requirements
  • Providing marketers with an in-depth analysis of their website’s performance across all four major Chinese search engines
  • Enabling organisations to optimise their digital marketing efforts and benchmark their results against key competitors
  • Setting up and managing their social presence in China through WeChat.

"As referred to the first attachment on this email, Your (DIAC) reply says, Your correspondence has been referred to the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, as the matters raised fall within the Immigration and
Border Protection portfolio, so why this matter has been sent to fair trading, isnt this the case of DIAC. What made this case handover to fair trading after an extensive investigation, why cant immigration handle this case? Why every case related to immigration, visa, migration fraud not sent to Fair trading. Why is Edward kang so special. This case is sent to a judge where the judge cant figure out which act of immigration law had kang broken, what types of visas was Mr. kang assisting with and what fake documents had Eddie used and hence which helped Kang to jeopardize the matter. Why was kang sentenced only at 2017, when there was plenty of evidence that this man has been doing scamming andd frauding business from the heart of Australia. why every victims are to report to police if they speak against Eddie kang and tried getting the scammed money back. What was happening when Eddie kang was pleading not guilty in his 80 mount street office, why was there new victims everyday when even Eddie kang was not pleading guilty in the court; at his office. Eddie kang creates new fake company and a Director every-time, once the company has enough victims at NCAT. Why cant NCAT communicate with the court then tell whats Eddie Kang has been doing, when the case was in trail and after he has been granted bail after the court decision. What does the bail means;Does it mean you can fraud people but you have to change the Director( Not Eddie) and the business name. There are hundreds of case of fraud filed against his name and company and Director he has created from the same address.  if investigating officer sends someone with visa or anything related issues in his office,You can find it out straight away; And it does not need a extensive investigation with so hundreds of victims came forward asking for help or is not a rocket science to find it out his scamming office at 80 mount street sydney level 2 and 4. Even  former policeman Karl Konrad from Australian Immigration law services did his own investigation and found out a lot about his scamming business in just 2 weeks. its just the investigation officers are getting enough bribe cash to divert, delay and stop the investigation. otherwise there would be no more victims after that. 
Also isn't there any criteria to register any migration business ? Does not Eddie Kang has to Declare that he was bankrupt in the same scamming migration bussiness at Newzealand and other countries? And Has Eddie paid any tax for his earnings and what is his legitimate business? if not, what are the consequences of Eddie not abiding by the law? Does any Authorities have an answer for that?  This are the questions thats are always coming in my mind throughout the years with full of pain and heartaching.
 
When victims went to North sydney police station, Victims were told to go to local court. Its not a criminal matter, its a civil matter. Isnt that the duty of police to keep the community safe, If something was going fishy, and victims had come to them reporting, police should be the one closing the premises and drag them to court notifying the relative Authorities. But the opposite happened.North sydney police failed to take any action to protect victims. But when victims went to Eddie kang office, Kang's Office has already been changed to another name and with different director, When victims kept on asking the money, Eddie kang staff called police, North sydney police  handcuffs victims and took in to custody for hours and cross question and harrass them, North sydney police will even sign in the witness box for harrasing Eddie Kang staff even they didnot witness it. then they will push the matter to criminal court and victims can no longer come to Eddie kangs office or ring Eddie kang. Victims have to report three four times a week in another side of the city after a tiring day of work just because asking the money back from Eddie kang and the North sydney police will help put AVO on victims, so victims cant go to the premises and call Eddie Kang for the scammed money. Wow what a justice to victims. It is not possible for Edward Kang to establish his scamming bussiness without the support of the Head of incharge at the police station involved and of course there is no doubt Eddie Kang is paying thousands in cash in return. and its not its first year,2nd or third, its been more than six year and scammer never get caught, only victims who ask for money back are caught, handcuffed, put in van and harassed for hours by the north Sydney police. 

Eddie kang,  is in Australia for his scamming business  visa and he is delighted with his scamming visa getting successfully granted. victims have studied hard, worked hard, tackling with obstacles in a foreign country,  when all the hard times are finally over after finishing study, then looking for someone to help with lodging a residency application.  Eddie kang Will have already spreading his scamming nets from his sophisticated office  few yards away from the police station with barristers,  lawyers and migration agent working there, Eddie kang will introduce himself as a migration agent and immigration agent no one will believe thats scammer is setup with all the legal team to help. Victims will pay the fees, Eddie kang will lodge an application with knowledge that the application is not going to be successful. Victim will not even have a clue that Eddie cant even lodge an application and have a deep breath handing over all the hassles and buffles to the teddie team. days will pass,  months will pass,  Eddie will say that your application is in process, by the time victims will know Eddie kang is a scammer,  they will already be illegal or they will have a little time of their visa left to look for job in their related field of study. Victims will then start calling eddie kang, Eddie kang will stop taking calls from the victims and will threaten with lengthy legal battle, deportation and also his connection to immigration officials and politicians. will start harrassing the victim with death threats and apply AVO, police will handcuff and take the victims for   the assualt they have never committed. Wow what a freedom and rights for fraudster Eddie kang. 
On the other hand, victims nightmare will get started, victims will be going round and round to get the justice. We complained this matter to MARA, MARA said it only looks after migration agent related not the Scammers. Even one of the migration agent was caught assisting Eddie Kang with his illegal activities. MARA just issued him warning  and warned him not to involved in illegal activies again & ruin people life. We believe in Authorised Migration agents and if they are fraudsters then who will we believe in future. What a shame !!! What a judgement for victims. MARA said to go to DIAC or Fair work ombudsman. Fair work ombudsman told victims, it doesnot fall under their criteria.  DIAC handed this case to fair trading, FAir trading investigating officers can be seen frustating too, saying they couldnot do their best as it didnot fall on their institution and were fed up with the matter as the officers did only had very basic knowledge on the visa and DIAC materials. Also frustated with DIAC handing over the matter to them, knowing the judges couldnot do their best to give justice to victims. Victims went to scam watch, federal police, Crime watch dog, but noone is ready to help. 
 
There is no doubt Mr. Eddie kang had bribed most of the DIAC investigating officers and Magistrates at any time. Every time the case was in court, Teddie was very successful in pushing the court dates further away saying he could not attend or he did not got the notices or he has mental issues and run away, And the decisions were always made in favor of him in his absence too.  Also Eddie Kang Registered his most business as PTE ltd at first and the local court said they cant do anything for the overseas company and Eddie Kang is only a director, Court cant tell Eddie kang to pay the sum, or give him punishment(2013). Even though court knew that Eddie Kang was a Scammer and there were multiple cases against him for fraud. Also when the fair trading court made the decision on May 2017, it said Mr. Eddie kang has to pay Eleven Individuals, is it fair for all victims?, cant the magistrate check how many victims were there in total. There are atleast 400 victims only recorded in NCAT and Fair trading. Many have not even lodge the complaints because of the fear Eddie kang has strong relations with some corrupted immigration officials. Many victims are already illegal, because Eddie Kang never let them know what was happening to their lodged application and knew only when they were illegal and didn't speak out in the fear of deportation. The court(2017) ordered to pay the exact scammed sum Eddie kang has taken from the 11 victims in the name of compensation and nothing else in fine. Magistrate didnot even bother to add up the court fees, interest incurred during the period and many other bills, years of harassment, torture, loss of time of visa duration are far enough to be compensated. Whereas victims sums has been doubled up with the interest in banks Evidence showed to magistrate, but did not showed any mercy on victims. Whereas, Eddie kang purchased waterfront  property purchased with victims money has nearly doubled during an extensive investigation of six years. In some cases victims loved ones has passed away, as victims was unable to send support money for family member after getting scammed by Kang, Victims  struggling economically, mentally with Eddie kangs court & police case. Why are magistrate showing so much mercy on him. Who will be responsible if Eddie kang shifted all his cash overseas, selling his estate, is it justice for victims for 9 months imprisonment for millions of dollars without any fines?
 
How was Eddie kang able to register more than six dozens company from the same address of North sydney for more than six years. How was Eddie kang able to advertise his scamming migration legal assistance sophisticated office running in the front of North sydney police station telling that he is the migration agent and Director of the premises. Why weren't the migration agent and the barristers who helped Eddie kang run his illegal business, who were part of it, had not been the part of investigation. Why does NCAT Magistrate always  cross question victims & try to defend Mr. Eddie Kang and not victims. I can remember first question from the magistrate was are you illegal? why didnt you check this man before handing him the money & sort of aggressive  behaviors towards victims by magistrates. What a humiliating moment for the victims. Even though local court ordered victims to pay, which never happened & is more than five years now. Eddie kang know how to play with the Australian law with help of loop holes and Bribe any government servant.  Eddie kang even said, I will show the middle finger to you & the court of Australia and laughed at the victims.  Do whatever you can. What a Humiliating moment, Local court also advised victims to forget the money and move on as you cant do anything with $2 asset company and will just go bankrupt, if they are caught. Eddie kang proved it because the court decision had no effect till the date now. 
 
Eddie Kang has bought his luxurious waterfront apartment unit 65,  3-13 bundarra Ave, south wahrangoo  at 2011 at a  more than a million dollar price & he owns many property at newton and other cities. Where did he get the cash from. Does he have any legal income or source he can justify. Authorities knew that he was a scammer and he can hide & transfer his assets anytime to overseas, but never froze his account and gave him plenty of time to play. if Eddie kang has already got away with his loot then is DIAC or MARA or Australian government taking responsible and give justice to victims??? 
 
Salute to you Eddie,  you have nailed it.  Taught lesson,  how to enjoy champagne  at your own luxurious waterfront property without hardwork and paying $0 in tax with loot money. No need a lotto win,  max is,  you need to do is to stay in a big palace with all facilities  for few months. Though the chances are rare. Well done, todd,  teddy,  Edward,  Eddie whatever it is....  . Dont worry, we and our families will take all the sufferings and harrasment. Enjoy your scamming lottery till you want.....Noone is there to stop you and/or your fake staff at the premises.
 
The loan my elderly dad had borrowed from friends and private lenders, has doubled in past five years and is finally with the local bank there.  My dad puts his hand on his forehead asks me every time,  how long my son do we need to wait to pay the borrowed loan. I am always saying him,  he's having a court case and we will get the money soon.  I am tired repeating the same word to my dad overtime.  I asked my dad repaying the loan bit by bit,  dad insisted, That kang has taken the money and he has to pay for it with the interest if there is any law in Australian Justice system.  If Australia is unable to provide justice, then lord is there to make him pay. and why do you need to pay for his wrongdoings.  Once i told him,  Eddie kang is still doing the lootings from the same office next to the police station.  Every department and justice system knows what cruel thing he is doing to international students and migrants.  Might be every officoals are bribed or Australia wants to teach migrants a cruel lesson,  whose only fault is to make a dream to live in this beautiful heavenly country, after finishing the study in accordance with the immigration policy. I also told him that he owns the luxurious waterfront apartment and other properties at sydney. I felt the silence on the other side.  The phone just hung up. From that time i rarely heard from my dad for months.  One day i asked my mum if something was wrong with dad. I could feel pain in my mums voice, she was struggling to find a word. She told that "your dad had gone to depression and tried to take his life. He is taking depression tablets now". He couldnot cope with the injustice been going to you and financial matters for so long. I was speechless i could hardly find a word to assure my family anymore. I had tried everything to get a justice from this conman, but i know i cant. i am loosing. I want to give up looking for justice and also my life seeing all this things happening in Equality and human rights advocating nation. I feel a big pain,  When i look at my babys face, glaring at him. His smiles and desperate at the door looking for me to play every time with him, When i am home from work. I dont want to imagine, how will my baby feel if he never sees his dad one day. I cant even imagine the day, When the only support roof for my elderly parents collapses. I know I needed to be strong for some good cause & fight against all these corrupted people. I have started paying the debts myself losing hope from the Justice system of Australia.  
I sometimes think, would the scammer still running his business, if he was frauding Australian citizens, would police behave the same way to Australians victims and take them to custody and question for hours? Are we being victims of  Eddie Kang or Racism? As the most victims are from third world country, Nepal, India, Bangladesh, pakistan and so on..I have always admired Peter Duttons work as he is a bold figure for protecting the borders and deporting people involved in criminal activities. But this case has let him so much down in my mind & i always keep thinking, but why is it...........
i have attached teddie kangs threaten audio at 2013 and also his latest dealings with victims at 2017. We still think justice is far than enough but hope with everyones help, justice can be achieved, with years of pain, stress and heavy heart be lifted with pure justice. We are tired of fighting to get justice from six years. Please help us, Please someone help us, before its too late.....

The Immigration Advisers Authority (IAA) in New Zealand is the equivalent authority to MARA in Australia. A Licensed Immigration Adviser in NZ is the equivalent occupation to a Registered Migration Agent in Australia. 

Under the Trans Tasman Mutual Recognition Act (TTMR Act) is a mutual recognition principle between Australia and New Zealand that permits an individual who is registered in Australia for an occupation to be registered for the equivalent occupation in New Zealand (and vice versa).  Under the TTMR Act, MARA recognises NZ licensed immigration advisers that hold a full license to be registered as registered migration agents in Australia without any conditions or limitations. This is consistent with the intent of the act as these are equivalent occupations.

The issue is that IAA does not reciprocate and does not currently permit Australian registered migration agents to obtain full registration in NZ in the equivalent occupation of a licensed immigration adviser. 

The relevant principle under the TTMR Act states:



It is important to note that as per section (2) above, no laws of New Zealand can require any 'particular qualification' where registration is being made for an equivalent occupation. It is important to note that the definition in the TTMR Act for 'qualification' is not just limited to awards but also includes any specific experience, education or training. 



IAA state at http://www.iaa.govt.nz/become-adviser/trans-tasman.asp that applicants under the TTMR Act must apply for a provisional license and are not eligible for a full license:



As a period of supervision fits within the definition of 'qualification' as it is a 'specific kind of experience', and the TTMR Act principle states that equivalent occupations cannot require any additional qualification, IAA cannot request for the adviser to undergo a period of supervision and also be downgraded to a non-equivalent license (provisional rather than full). This is contrary to the intent of the TTMR Act, and contrary to MARA's recognition of the TTMR Act.

Fortunately the decision of the IAA to not grant a full license to an Australian registered migration agent can be appealed through the occupations tribunal of New Zealand. To date no one has taken the initiative to challenge this. A successful win in the tribunal will force the IAA to revise their policy and be consistent with the TTMR Act. Currently the fee for a review is NZ$600.
