Jamie Sarkonak: Immigration needs to work for Canadians, not rule-breakers from abroad

Summary
This article critiques Canada's immigration system, focusing on an Eritrean family who managed to stay in Canada for six years by falsely claiming persecution, while omitting their Swedish nationality in their refugee application. After their refugee status was revoked in 2022, they tried multiple administrative routes to remain, and despite failing, they were allowed to stay until the end of the school year due to a court ruling. The author condemns the system for enabling such individuals to abuse Canada's generous welfare system, arguing that it undermines trust in the country's immigration and legal systems. The article also criticizes past legal precedents, such as the 1999 Baker v. Canada case, which have made immigration laws more lenient towards illegal residents. The author calls for a system that prioritizes law-abiding immigrants and refugees, rather than rewarding those who manipulate the system.
