    Here I thought we could just trust everyone to go home when their visa expired.

  2. Auditor General Karen Hogan says there are critical weaknesses in the integrity controls for the[ International Student](https://globalnews.ca/tag/international-students/) Program.

    An audit of the program being published today says about 150,000 cases in 2023 and 2024 were flagged because the student visa holders may not have complied with the terms of their study permits.

    The report says only about 4,000 investigations were launched, and of those 1,600 were marked as inconclusive after the student in question did not respond to [Immigration](https://globalnews.ca/tag/immigration), Refugees and Citizenship Canada.

    …. ***may not have complied with the terms of their study permits.***

    OH MY … how could this have happened & where are they now considering MOST arrived from such a trust worthy ~~society~~ umm country ? /S

  3. LMAO……SHOCKER!

    All the fake students from that 1 country, their intent all along is to stay in Canada.

    Canada needs to remove the ability to work for foreign students like the US has. Also, make sure their tuition is paid and they can be self sufficient while here.

    Kick them all out and stop issuing visas. Instead Carney goes and boasts that we’re getting more

    So Trudeau and his cronies flooded the country with so many international students that the department in charge with investigating them literally didn’t have enough money to investigate or enforce the rules.

    Now these “students” are just left in the country to run amuck.

    We’re not a serious country 🤦🏽

    Anyone with a brain could see that. Trudeau really fucked up our immigration system.

    Prevent them from working off campus (like the US does)and watch the visa applications plummet. Many are coming here to work primarily and being a student is their way in to do so.

    80% of international students came to do diploma program.

    In fact, Conestoga and centennial colleges brought more international students than all U15 universities combined.

    Just give them PR already, they’re not going to leave on their own accord and were certainly not going to deport them as the cries of “racism” would be deafening.

    I wish I was being sarcastic but odds are they’ll just give them PR, Amnesty, or will extend their visas

    Is this where we still say, “don’t blame individual immigrants, blame the system?” When does the gaslighting stop and holding individuals responsible for deliberately breaking the rules start?

  11. Who was the Minister, the Deputy Minister and the Assistant Deputy Minister responsible for this program?

  12. Easy fix is ending PGWP and off campus WP eligibility for 2 year programs. Most using education as immigration back door are not going to spend money and 4 years of time
