Student visas used as ticket into Canada
VANCOUVER – There are so many people in B.C. scamming Canada’s foreign student-visa program – from bogus students to shady schools – that authorities can only investigate about five per cent of the cases, according to an internal government report obtained by CanWest News Service.
“It is impossible to actively pursue all the cases … with the current resourcing levels assigned to the project,” warned an August 2006 report prepared by the Canada Border Services Agency.
The number of foreign students admitted to B.C. on student visas has nearly doubled over the past decade, from just 22,000 in 1995 to 43,000 in 2005.
The report stated the vast majority of students are genuine.
But the agency has also identified “several hundred cases of alleged fraud” in B.C. in recent years – people with no intention of studying who simply use the visa as a way into the country.
If the CBSA can prove that someone is in the country illegally, it can then seek to have that person deported. But the report noted that the number of fraud cases is so high that “it is realistically expected that approximately five per cent … can be effectively pursued.”

But nobody is more efficient at ensuring that we pay our GST and other taxes when we come back from our little milk ‘n eggs shopping trips south of the border. The tax collectors are even armed at the borders now. And they can track us damned citizens down like Russian spies if we have an unpaid parking ticket.
