Canada: After America, now the problems for illegal immigrants have increased in Canada too. The Canada Border Services Agency has launched a major deportation operation against people living across the country whose visas have expired or whose asylum petitions have been rejected. The agency has so far issued more than 30,000 deportation warrants.
A large number of these people are those who were living in Canada illegally, or who have a criminal record. A large number of these people are of Punjabi origin, which has created a stir there. There are many youth of Punjabi origin whose work permits have expired and they are living in Canada illegally.
The agency has clarified that this action will be taken against three types of people first, including those whose political asylum applications have been rejected and those who are living in Canada illegally. Those who have some connection with crimes. Canada's renowned immigration expert Parvinder Singh Montu says that 88 percent of these 30,000 people are only those whose asylum petition has been rejected.
The agency's list also includes students who have left their studies midway, as well as those whose tourist visas have expired but have not yet returned. There are also some people who were found involved in crimes despite being PR card holders. The process of sending such youths back will soon be initiated.
The agency has also clarified that if a deported person later wants to obtain a Canadian visa again, he will first have to pay 3,800 (Canadian dollars) as the cost of deportation by the government. If he were sent back with a special escort (under protection), he would have to pay 12,800 Canadian dollars.
According to the agency's latest report, as of October 21, 457,646 people are in various stages of deportation from Canada. 27,675 people are in the final stages of deportation. 378,320 people who are under supervision, and are either awaiting a decision on whether to become refugees, or have deportation orders against them, which are not yet being implemented. 29,731 people whose whereabouts are unknown, and they are absconding.
