Ottawa is for the first time to track which foreign students and other temporary foreign residents have left the country after their permits to remain in Canada expire, Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab told a committee of MPs on Monday.
Economists have been warning for years that Canada has been dramatically undercounting the number of temporary residents living here by presuming that international students and others leave the country after their permits and visas run out.
Ms. Diab said Monday the government is conducting a pilot program to track entries and exits by temporary residents, including international students, as part of an action plan to combat non-compliance.
From this month, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada will record if they are in the country or have left, IRCC deputy minister Ted Gallivan told MPs. He said the department has been collaborating with the Canada Border Services Agency on collecting entry and exit data.
The initiative was disclosed at the Commons immigration committee, which was questioning the minister about a critique by Auditor-General Karen Hogan into the failure of Ms. Diab’s department to investigate suspected cases of study permit non-compliance and immigration fraud.
The March report by Ms. Hogan into the international student program run by IRCC concluded there were “critical weaknesses” in its integrity controls.
The report found that IRCC did not effectively investigate international students identified as not complying with the terms of their study permits – for example, by not attending the college at which they were enrolled.
In 2023 and 2024, more than 153,000 cases of students thought to be breaching the terms of their study permits were flagged, but IRCC only had enough funding to investigate 4,000 of them.
Ms. Metlege Diab said cases that were identified in the report were being investigated.
She said 78 per cent of the 153,000 cases flagged by the audit were found by the department to be attending a college or university, or had applied to another migration stream. Twenty-two per cent were presumed to have left the country but may have stayed in Canada after their permits to remain had run out.
What kind of country goes for this long without tracking when its temporary foreign residents leave
Just lol
“to start” 🤣🤣🤣
Good. This should’ve been done long, long, long ago. No idea why it wasn’t implemented years and years and years ago. But its a good thing its finally being done now.
To start? Wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
START??? The year is 2026.
our country is a joke lmao
No wonder Trump feels like he can openly talk about annexing. We command zero respect with the way we run things. Its rather sad
Better late than never?
„Start“????
It wouldn’t be a huge issue than it is now if the applicants we accept are from high-trust societies.
On the one hand, good, better late than never. On the other, talk about shutting the barn door while the horses are running for the horizon. Like, jeez, this is something that should have been enacted with the first version of the TFW program back in the early 1970s. It’s only 50 years late.
Good. Been too long and better late than never
Glad they are starting but why the FUUUCK wasnt this standard practice at the beginning of any immigration! Jesus.
Literally a problem for the last 10 years.
„We’re going to start tracking them now.“
You can’t make this up. Lol.
Good. Now detain the ones that don’t, deport, and ban from ever entering the country again.
To start? After all these years? Is Ottawa run by idiots?
Given Canada does not have exit control at airports, how would this happen?
And the ones* did not can all stay on “humanitarian grounds.” Says the libs.
All they have to do is to fine employers a few hundred thousand for hiring illegals without papers and all problems will be solved.
Our government is inept
I really hope they have gotten rid of all the types of people in the previous liberal government who would historically have sat around a table and genuinely argued this is a bad idea because it is anti immigration or something like that.
START tracking!!?? They will begin a pilot program? How long has this country existed?? Its five columns on a spread sheet name, passport, visa #, entry date, exit date. DISNEY WORLD is better organized.
Track Canadian citizen also, so the government can know how many skilled immigrants left the country. Maybe that will motivate Canada government to improve its economy.
How does Lena Metledge Diab still have this job?
A 3 month old account making this statement lol, just keep stoking the fire. This is the same in many countries lol, countries don’t just automatically hunt you down when your visa expires.
Ok, good start. Now what about enforcement?
To be fair we as a country have been a place of integrity and most of us are law abiding citizens. The lawmakers maybe expected the same from those coming from elsewhere.
Mark my words, there’s gonna be a massive push for an amnesty. Like a complete amnesty for everybody.
It’s gonna be brought up by some kind of nonprofit group, but then it will be pushed by the liberals and the NDP and they’re gonna make it happen. Probably 500,000 people. The cattle have left the barn and a lot of them are on social assistance and food banks and they are never going to leave this country willingly and they need to be legalized and accounted for they keep going to the hospital and sending their kids to school.
Lmfao this country is just non stop comedy.
What just starting, should have been doing this since day one. Now to track properly the foreign students as well. Far to many people taking advantage of this country’s generosity and we and those here legally are paying the price
We should find the incompetent lifer that skipped this step the first time and revoke their pension.
START TRACKING!?!? START? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH OUR GOVERNMENT!!!
