Canada's government has trouble detecting citizenship fraud: watchdog

Canada's government is doing a bad job of weeding out fraudulent citizenship applications and this means ineligible people can obtain Canadian passports, the country's top watchdog said on Tuesday. The findings could alarm U.S. critics already worried by what they say are the security risks posed by the new Liberal government's decision to quickly accept 25,000 Syrian refugees after taking power last November. Auditor General Michael Ferguson said in a report he had discovered a series of problems in the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship (IRC) department, which is responsible for making sure only eligible people can become Canadian nationals. "We found that (IRC) was not adequately detecting and preventing fraud in the citizenship program," concluded the audit, which said officials lacked a systematic method of identifying and documenting fraud risks. "People were granted citizenship based on incomplete information or without all of the necessary checks being done," it said. The audit covered the period from July 2014 to October 2015, when the former Conservative government was in power. More than 260,000 people became Canadian citizens in 2014, an all-time record. Canada has a population of around 36 million.

It took Cruz a long time to figure out he was a Canadian citizen, and is a smart, Constitutional attorney.

Better solicit the services of Israeli CIC!

Western nations haven’t a clue as to handle security. For example, look at the long lines entering the detection equipment in American airports. Look at the uniformed imbeciles sporting their shiny new badges. Look how many of them there are.

We have been summarily screwed by a far left gargantuan government.

Turd-owe: A paler shade of 0.00. He's upped the number of Syrians to greater than 25,000. What could possibly go wrong?

I was at the public library yesterday, and a bunch of PS kids came in, I guess with their teachers. Everyone of them were moslem, either hijab-wearing girls of various 'shades' and a bunch of foul mouthed, Arab boys. The librarian spoke to them several times, to be quiet at the computers. Eventually, one of the bigger boys, perhaps 16, started cussing her out. I stood up, but before I could say or do anything, she physically grabbed mr. loudmouth by the arm, twisted behind him, and frog marched him away from the area!

The bunch of them had been loud and arrogant, but this librarian knew how to handle these little hellians. Well done, madame!

Ack, sorry, but the US has won the game on illegals and citizenship. Heck, our own government has said they’re basically citizens. Heck, we even let one set up camp in the WH.
