Sometimes they never really lived in Canada and don’t speak English or French.” Arabic speakers have been brought in to translate, the source said.Canada has accepted 2,120 refugee claims from Sudan in the past five years.
Andrew Griffith, a former director general at IRCC, said that statistics on the phenomenon that became known as “Canadians of convenience” during the Lebanon evacuation are not readily available. Sources in Africa have described the relief effort as “chaos.” On May 1, a C-130J Hercules transport aircraft left Jordan headed for Port Sudan on the Red Sea to pick up stranded Canadians, after the Wadi Seidna Air Base north of the capital Khartoum became too dangerous. A Forces spokesperson said the Sudanese authorities would not allow personnel to disembark and the flight was forced to return empty to Jordan after “diplomatic credentials mix-up.
If it is established that some people evacuated to Nairobi have cheated the system, they, too, should have their citizenship invalidated.
