I agree with you that Canada should have the ability to deny protection to criminals and those fleeing justice. The refugee system should not be availble for them. In this persons case the refugee system most likely wouldn't be available to him. The problem is it took 10 years for this information to come to light.
There would need to be a lot of legislative change of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act inorder to remove these people at the governments whim. Right now, people who are inadmissible and even those who have had there refugee claim denied still have an oppertunity to apply for Pre Removal Risk Assesment (PRRA), which is basically another kick at the can to stay as a permanent resident by determining if there is any risk to the subjects life if he goes back. In my opinion PRRA should only be allowed for a small list of countries where we know there is a greater chance of risk. RIght now, almost any person with a removal order can apply for PRRA no matter what country they are being removed to. PRRA decisions are taking 12-18 months to decide because the government has so few officers working on these cases.
I think that any refugee claimant that is made in Canada should have to wear some kind of ankle bracelet so we know where there are at all times.
I agree with you CC but it would take a lot of changes to the act and there is no way the Liberals or the NDP would allow us to make those kind of changes, they care more for the criminals than they do fellow Canadians.
