**In Brief:**
* Immigration officials submitted a plan of action to House of Commons committee on Monday, following an auditor general’s report that highlighted serious integrity controls in the international student visa program last month.
* Part of that is ensuring voluntary compliance by student visa holders. “We have to make sure that there’s a full continuum from telling people the rules to reminding them nicely to reminding them forcefully,” said Deputy Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Ted Gallivan, during his testimony on Monday.
* “Part of it, is the threat of no-return visa. You know, an overstay has repercussions, including up to a five-year ban from readmittance to the country. I’ve asked the team to start pilot work around aggressively managing the end of the visa as a management control and so we’ve got IT work underway.”
* Last month, Auditor General of Canada Karen Hogan published a report that showed post-secondary institutions flagged 153,000 cases of non-compliance in the international student program between 2023 and 2024, but the department only had the budget to investigate 4,000 cases.
* Gallivan acknowledged that the number of high risk cases or fraud ought to drive the budget, not the other way around.
What kind of repercussions are they talking about? International student in Canada on expired permit allowed to stay despite attempted auto theft.

Does it have repercussions? Does itttt?
I’ll believe it when I see it happen. For far too long now there have been no consequences for any sort of illegal immigration, be it unlawfully crossing the border or overstaying a visa. So for them say there will be repercussions is meaningless. They have to actually enforce the law and make those consequences real.
I’ll believe it when I see it!
I’ll believe it when we have ice rounding them up
what repercussions do they have with no one enforcing anything? these are the same people who just expected everyone to go home on their own after their visa expired
>’An overstay has repercussions‘
Sure… „status for all!“ /s
It’s disturbing there are those that want to advocate for open borders.
Will they be enforced, and will there be transparency on proof of enforcement outcomes?
Canada needs exit controls for non residents
What a joke this country is.
“Gallivan, has only been deputy minister of the department for the last four weeks. He started his new job on the same day the audit was published. His predecessor was Dr. Harpreet S. Kochhar, who now serves as the president of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.” Gee I wonder if the previous Deputy Minister really cared about all of those kids who overstayed……..
We should fine businesses an obscene eye-watering amount for hiring people without a valid work permit and then double that eye watering fine if they are paying under the table
I’ll believe it when I see it
You aren’t talking about German students or Italian students or French students here. These students are coming from an economically deprived region of an overcrowded country with no opportunities, that were sold on a way to achieve citizenship in Canada. They will not and do not honour our way of life. We are way too trusting.
> CBSA president Erin O’Gorman said it’s better for the overall system for IRCC to ensure voluntary compliance over forced removal.
This honour-based system would work in theory if all those who immigrate on student visas are genuine applicants. Majority of those who end up overstaying or working illegally are those who are enrolled in diploma mills or arrive with the intention of breaking the rules anyways. So I don’t understand how IRCC officials are so naive to expect such people to voluntarily leave.
Ya, ok there guy
There will be no consequences, there aren’t for criminals non residents so you tell me
I remember when the government let thousands of students stay after it was discovered that their documentation were forgeries, because „they didn’t know“ like a idiots that were born the day before.
Let’s see if they actually follow through this time.
