I think my dad committed marriage/immigration fraud to bring someone into the country. How do I approach this?

Long story short, my dad went to a certain foreign country in February 2023, got remarried, and brought his new wife over in March 2024.

Problem is, I was unaware of all of this. He told me she is my aunt from my mom's side (my mom passed away in 2018), which no one on my mom's side has ever mentioned to me once, ever. He also said she would stay here working as a servant for 1 year and then go back. After 1 year, she brought her kids over too, and they have been here ever since.

I'm not sure if it matters legally, but it's been a problem with them here. I had to move back in with all my stuff because my company in another city laid off a bunch of people. They somehow managed to tear up my furniture, damage all of my cookware and go into my room to steal my clothes. It also seems like nobody has properly cleaned the floors since she moved in since it's just covered with dust.

I went digging through my her phone (legally it's my old phone but she took it from my drawer). I've found what seems like templates for reference letters that were supposedly given to 2 individuals from her side for the family. There were 3 reference letters from my dad's cousin and my grandmother's brother and his wife. These are signed by them and stamped by a lawyer in Canada. I know for a fact these 3 did not write these letters. They read like early 2023 ChatGPT and I know that these 3 individuals don't speak English that well let alone write a page long reference letter that includes common North American lingo. The letter from my grandmother's brother says that he attended the wedding, but he was in Canada at the time. Also there are no reference letters from my dad's children (me) nor his own siblings.

I also found what I think is a partial screenshot of spousal sponsorship form. In it it states that I was too busy due to work to attend the wedding. This is 100% false. I was not told of this wedding. In fact my work schedule at the time was extremely flexible and at the time I took time off to travel to 4 different countries between October 2022 and April 2023. It also says I fully accept this marriage, their relationship and look forward to being a good role model to my new younger siblings. Again, all of this is false. This form also lists my birthday wrong, which is not something I would do.

I have gathered these documents and written up a statement. I plan on submitting a complaint to the IRCC but before that I wanted to get some opinions on what to and what not to mention. I know this sub tends to be emotionally charged but I'd would like some honest advice. I don't have the money to talk to a lawyer and AI tends to say I have some evidence but nothing hard. I am bit astonished that our gov't would rubber stamp immigration papers for someone who just got married a few months prior to their application.
