Of course they aren’t.
This government has shown time and time again that they’re not able to manage immigration responsibly. Honestly, who’s surprised at this point?

Key point: “Hogan’s report found that while about 150,000 students were flagged in 2023 and 2024 for potential non-compliance with their permit terms, the Immigration Department only had resources to investigate about 4,000 cases.
Moreover, the department identified 800 study permits issued between 2018 and 2023 in which applicants used fraudulent documentation or misrepresented information in their applications to gain entry to Canada. **However, the government did not take any action in those cases, and 92% of those permit holders were later approved or awaiting a decision on other types of immigration applications.”**
The Liberal government is just blatantly enabling fraud. This should be a government ending scandal in any proper world.

Of course they ain’t! This government is incompetent and honestly, I don’t think they care, they are all about increasing the population even if it risks national security! Liberals are just bad for Canada as a whole!

Got my haircut by a guy the other week who said he came here on a student visa and just decided to stay.
Don’t get me wrong, nice guy, and I can’t blame a guy for trying to find a better life somewhere… But what the fuck is our government doing.

You dont need an audit to tell you this….. just call IRCC and speak to a Call Centre Agent and they’ll be able to tell you that the govt has no clue who’s in our country

And in ten years the government will concede defeat and blanket grant citizenship to all of them.

Look at the politicians in Ontario. There’s a increasing number of members with the same last name. Coincidence?

They sort of are though. As much as possible. Approximately 400 people a week have been deported since November of last year. More tha ever before

If they do, various business owners and immigration consultants won’t be able to run their businesses, relying on under-the-table money and exploitation.Some of that money ends up at political donation.So why should they?

The audit also found that department does not know whether students leave the country after their permits expire. Hogan’s office identified 39,500 individuals whose visas expired in 2024 and who should no longer be in the country, and was able to confirm the departure of only 40% of those individuals with Canada Border Services Agency.

It seems like the kind of thing that could be trivially solved by having Social insurance n umbers expiring at the end of the student visa such that each company would be immediately flagged that they are employing someone who is here illegally.
Now you have someone to go after here. if a company still employs someone after being notified they are legally allowed to work then they get fined.

jesus fucking christ
>Moreover, the department identified 800 study permits issued between 2018 and 2023 in which applicants used fraudulent documentation or misrepresented information in their applications to gain entry to Canada.
remember when they tried to tell us that questioning this was racism because said “students” were non-white? and they also told CBSA and other agencies to overlook obvious fraud?
how blatent were these ones that got caught?
>However, the government did not take any action in those cases, and 92% of those permit holders were later approved or awaiting a decision on other types of immigration applications.
jesus fucking christ
>The number of international students in the country ballooned after the Covid-19 pandemic, reaching more than 1 million in 2023. That surge prompted the Canadian government to introduce a suite of reforms, including annual caps on study permits. The government also set a target of reducing the proportion of temporary residents in the country to 5% of the population by the end of 2027.
jesus fucking christ
>However, the government has undershot its new student visa target, with just under 150,000 permits approved in 2024 compared to the government’s forecast of nearly 350,000. Hogan’s report attributes that sharp decline to fewer applications and lower-than-projected approval rates.
a sliver of good news
> In a statement, Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab said the government accepts the auditor general’s recommendations to strengthen follow-up in cases where fraud or non-compliance is suspected.
accept and don’t do anything huh
>“At the same time, this report captures only the first 18 months of a broader multi-year reform effort that runs through 2027. It reflects an early phase of implementation, not the full impact of the changes now underway,” Diab said.

Canada has infinite capacity to ensure somebody pays back $1000 in CERB benefits, with agents to hound them relentlessly, on a loan that doesn’t acrue interest. But breaking actual laws? Just keep on keeping on if you’re not white!

Many of these students never intended on leaving, and I think Trudeau’s regime knew that. Carney’s solutions are like pouring water onto a fire that has already burned a house to a ground. Getting a handle on the numbers now is great, but we need to really ramp up deporting people on expired status

So why even have a government department devoted to that? Why are we paying government employees who aren’t doing their job? They should be fired and the department abolished. At least we’d save on their wages.
