Nearly half of foreign nationals flagged by security agencies to the immigration department for ties to serious offences like war crimes, espionage and terrorism were allowed into the country anyways between 2014 and 2019.
The vast majority of applicants are screened positively and are allowed into the country. But of the 7,141 cases where security screeners sent IRCC a “non-favourable” recommendation during the years covered by the audit, 3,314 were allowed into Canada, the report noted.
“Public policy exemptions are issued on a case-by-case and exceptional basis,” IRCC added in a statement. “This is yet another example of why we need to have serious review of how policing, security and intelligence are undertaken in this country and how to co-ordinate it and make it more efficient and effective,” he said.
But Sundberg says that argument is “rubbish” and the CBSA audit noted that is far from a perfect measuring stick. The audit does not note why so many public-policy exemptions were granted, but it does highlight the fact that there were two major and unexpected influxes of applications during the five years covered by the audit.
The audit noted that the security screening “only issues inconclusive results when concerns may exist and cannot be ruled out, managers and some analysts note that inconclusive screenings should indicate a warning to IRCC rather than a ‘green light’ to proceed with the application.”
