Canada dealing with thousands of cases of potential residence fraud

Canadian Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism minister Jason Kenney has vowed to continue a crackdown on fraudulent attempts to acquire citizenship.

Officials are battling against gangs who help individuals to create the appearance that they are living in Canada in order to keep their permanent resident status to acquire citizenship.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has recently charged two people with offences under immigration laws.

‘Canadian citizenship is not for sale. Canadians are generous people, but they have no tolerance or patience for those who don’t play by the rules and who lie or cheat to become a permanent resident and ultimately obtain Canadian citizenship,’ said Kenney.
