This is pointless cruelty.
Its also cruel to bring people into a vast housing shortage.
We've already debates this you and I. By the way, Canada's population just fell for the first time in history. Did that fix the crisis?
Seems to be helping, yes. I just think it needs to be around 4-5x income as it was historically.
Can we please stop adopting American refugee tactics in Canada!!!!
Jfc already!
Once we build the homes to put these people we can start being compassionate, unless you're volunteering your own home?
Or is your house already at capacity with homeless people?
How about we fill up the empty houses first? You know, the ones built to fill the pockets of investors and now just sitting there because no one can afford them... Or sitting empty because rich people own multiple homes just for kicks. Can we limit the amount of houses they get to have?
Ya agreed, do that First.
Why accept one refugee claim and turn away the rest of the family then? Does it make sense to seperate a child from his mother? They should have just rejected the whole family according to your logic.
Ya fair enough, I just assumed there was some reasonable circumstances explaining it.
I live in a rooming house. Otherwise I would be having people stay with me (which I've done before when I was renting a house).
Permanent residency delays in Quebec are about 10 years, according to Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada's (IRCC) processing times website.
They kinda buried one of the major issues here. If they were waiting six months that would be one thing, but 10 years? That's insane.
The details are vague in this article but what it sounds like is the Father and Son arrived via a visitor visa and the wife is naturally a refugee due to threats she/her family were receiving in India. So it's very safe to assume that the father and son have well overstayed their visitor visa status (add to the fact he was working here at a Tim Hortons which is a no-no on a visitor visa) and so naturally deportation. a Visitor Visa allows up to 6months and since they stated the child was 2 or 3 when they arrived they've been here for at least 2 years. Also doesn't say if the husband got a work permit (which I doubt).
The article alao clearly states that it has NOT been the practice to separate families for decades.
Chauhan's lawyer, Stewart Istvanffy, said it is the first time in three decades of practice that he has seen a refugee's immediate family face removal.
I feel like there's information missing. What was the man charged with? It seems like he's in jail since the wife is trying to raise bail.
He doesn't have to be charged with anything for CBSA to refuse his application.
They were raising bail for him. Why was he in jail?
CBSA doesn't have to make any reason public. They have become one of the most secretive services in Canada.
but he was jailed for something...
:/
He was detained by the CBSA during what he thought was a routine check-in.
He was then informed that his asylum claim was rejected.
His wife was required to post a $4000 immigration bond so that he did not remain in detention until deportation.
He has no criminal record. CBC is using the term "bail" loosely here.
ah ok, that clears things up
CBSA has their own 'jails' so charges aren't required. A simple denial of immigration is all that's needed to hold someone.
ah ok, that clears things up
Capitalism is shit. Can I get off this stupid ride now please.
