During the period of 2016-2022, 13,605 foreigners were ordered deported but 8,723 — or 64% — remained in Canada.The CBSA has promised to increase its deportation rate. “Everyone ordered removed from Canada is entitled to due process before the law,” the CBSA wrote in an Inquiry Of Ministry tabled in the Commons.
“All removal orders are subject to various levels of appeal, including judicial review. Once all legal avenues have been exhausted, foreign nationals are processed for removal.”The figures came at the request of Conservative MP Tom Kmiec who asked, “How many individuals were sent deportation letters by the government? And how many currently remain in Canada?”Article content
“Removals are prioritized based on a risk management regime with cases involving national security, organized crime, human rights violations and criminality being the highest priority for the safety and security of Canada,” a CSBA memo states. “This first priority also includes failed irregular migrant asylum seekers that entered between Canada’s ports of entry.”Last year a total 2,002 foreigners were ordered to leave Canada, 373 left on their own and 386 others were removed by CBSA agents.
