In 2016, Sidoo was even photographed with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

He is accused of making $200,000 in payments to get his two sons into prestigious American universities.

Others allegedly took the exams for the two boys.

According to court documents, Sidoo is accused of providing documents for the falsification of identification cards for the grunts actually taking the tests.

The 59-year-old investment banker — who owns a $35.8-million mansion in Vancouver — was arrested in San Jose, Calif., on Friday.

Postmedia reports that an unidentified person allegedly came from Tampa to Vancouver to take the SAT for his older son. The ringer was told not to score too high because the boy’s previous effort was disastrous, according to investigators.
