In this paper we consider near inclusions $A\,{{\subseteq }_{\gamma }}\,B$ of ${{\text{C}}^{*}}$-algebras. We show that if $B$ is a separable type $\text{I}$${{\text{C}}^{*}}$-algebra and $A$ satisfies Kadison's similarity problem, then $A$ is also type $\text{I}$. We then use this to obtain an embedding of $A$ into $B$.
