Concerns raised over immigration, due diligence aspects of Canada: Reports

Canada has been widely considered a favourable nation for individuals who choose to migrate from their birth nation for better opportunities. The country uses a lenient and open-minded approach while accepting new citizens, making it the top choice for individuals around the world.

The approach is well suited the individuals who are seeking refugee or fleeing persecution as it provides them with a platform to start their new life. However, this also has opened doors for the questionable characters to undermine the reputation of Canada.

Usually, such bad actors could be restricted from entering or taking citizens or residency from any country with the efficient due diligence aspects. However, the aspect has turned into no help for Canada due to the lack of extensive background checks, making questionable individuals pave their way to the country.

With time, these individuals turn into big problems for the government and the people of Canada due to their involvement in several dangerous events. This has led to the raising of concern among governments of other countries which are in good relationship with Canada. The situation has further been complicated by the treatment of Canada towards these individuals which comes into their favour only. Due to this, individuals with questionable personalities consider Canada as their way out and eventually receive citizenship, causing trouble for the normal citizens of the nation.

The scenario gets worse with the fact that the individuals portray themselves as the victim of ill-treatment in their origin country to get entry into Canada. Once receiving naturalized citizens, these individuals returned to their ill-advised patterns and created trouble in the country.

Despite being one of the developed countries, Canada has failed to maintain the highest standards of due diligence aspects. The entire scenario has raised questions about the standards and the apparatus of background checks in Canada.

The lack of due diligence standards in Canada sheds light on several other nations around the world that have higher quality in the background checks apparatus. According to the reports, these nations might not be considered for their resources, but the standards they have set for immigration and citizenship policies have been widely appreciated around the world.

These nations turned into examples for several big and developed countries in the immigration industry due to their high standards of due diligence and robust background checks.

Notably, there are applicants who used the nation’s student and visitor visa policies to gain citizenship of Canada with an excuse of gaining an education or visiting as a tourist, aiming to become a citizen. On the other hand, many have chosen illegal means to enter the country and lead a life with facilities funded by the taxes of the average citizen.

The nation offers citizenship with an investment amount of CAD$400,000, opening doors to several bad actions. Canada also offers several other options such as a Start-up Visa Program, a Self-Employed Person’s Visa, a Family-Sponsorship Program, and the Quebec-Selected Skilled Worker Programme.

Besides this, another loophole in Canada’s due diligence aspect is that the nation does not hire any independent third party to ensure the robust checking of the individuals who aspire to be citizens of the country.

However, there are several countries around the world that are known for using this approach efficiently, enhancing the standards of their stringent vetting process. The entire process makes them understand the true character of the individual and enhances their capability of eliminating their bad actors from entering their country.

Their due diligence standards ensure the safety and security of their citizens and maintain the reputations of their programmes across the globe. These countries are perfect examples for countries like Canada to enhance their immigration policies.
