News Release – Canadian citizenship not for sale: Minister Kenney provides update of investigations into citizenship fraud

Montreal, December 9, 2011 — The Government of Canada is now investigating 6,500 people from more than 100 countries for fraudulently attempting to gain citizenship or maintain permanent resident status, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney announced today.

"“Canadian citizenship is not for sale,”" said Minister Kenney. "“Canadians are generous people, but have no tolerance or patience for people who don't play by the rules and who lie or cheat to become a Canadian citizen.  The Government will apply the full strength of Canadian law to those who have obtained citizenship fraudulently.”"

In July, Minister Kenney announced that Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) was beginning the process to revoke the citizenship of up to 1,800 citizens who obtained it fraudulently; that number has now risen to more than 2,100.

The Department has also been working on cases of those who are not yet citizens. Nearly 4,400 people with permanent resident status who are known to be implicated in residence fraud have been flagged for additional scrutiny should they attempt to enter Canada or obtain citizenship.  The majority of these individuals are outside the country.

In typical cases, permanent residents will use the services of an unscrupulous immigration consultant to establish evidence of residence in Canada while living abroad most, if not all, of the time.  This fraud is perpetrated so that individuals can maintain their permanent residence status and later apply for citizenship.  A family of five may pay upwards of $25,000 over four or more years to create the illusion of residence in Canada.

"“My department is working closely with the Canada Border Services Agency, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and Canadian offices abroad to prevent people who are suspected of non-compliance with the permanent residence requirement from being admitted to Canada without proving they meet the requirements and take enforcement action when necessary,”" added Minister Kenney.

To date, of the 4,400 permanent residents who have been flagged, nearly 1,400 people have withdrawn or abandoned their citizenship application because of new scrutiny.

Permanent residents must acquire three years of residence out of four years to apply for Canadian citizenship.  To retain their status as permanent residents, they must be physically present in Canada for two years out of five.

"“I encourage anyone who has information regarding citizenship fraud to call our tip line to report it,”" urged Minister Kenney.

Cases involving false representation, fraud or knowingly concealing material circumstances in the citizenship process – for example, pretending to be present in Canada to meet the residence requirements for obtaining citizenship – should be referred to the citizenship fraud tip line at CIC's Call Centre at 1-888-242-2100 (in Canada only, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. local time, Monday through Friday).  Tips may also be reported by e-mail at Citizenship-fraud-tips  @  cic.gc.ca. Those overseas can contact the nearest Canadian visa office.

All other fraud types related to immigration should be reported to the CBSA's Border Watch Tip Line at 1 888-502-9060.   Tips accepted by the Border Watch Tip Line include, but are not limited to, suspicious cross-border activity, marriages of convenience, misrepresentation in any temporary or permanent immigration application, or the whereabouts of any person wanted on an immigration warrant.

The Government of Canada is taking action to crack down on the actions of crooked consultants during the immigration process. Bill C-35, originally introduced as the Cracking Down on Crooked Consultants Act, came into force on June 30, 2011.  The Act imposes penalties on unauthorized representatives who provide, or offer to provide, advice or representation for a fee at any stage of an immigration application or proceeding.

 Hi Chaps,
                 I applied in February 2010 to Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia sent me a mail asking me to send all documentation to the London VO in May 2010. Subsequently the file was transferred to the London Visa office. I sent the complete set of Docs in September 2010 and I received a n acknowledgement in October 2010. For  a long time the status displayed as RBVO. However in November 2011 the status changed to "In Process". Hopefully things will move now.

I have read the processing time FAQ many times and it clearly states that the processing time is from the time the Visa office receives the application to the time PR granted. So why are people in this forum talking about processing times from second AOR. This I failed to understand.

Regards,
Smikri

YoBoy

your VO will ask for the fee when your file would be reviewed.
you should have sent that while sending full docs. I donno why you didnt do that.

angelpot,

lets see. Delay does not mean people should get paralyzed. they should engage themselves with other works.
good to see that you are hopeful and expected something good to be happened in 2012.

I applied as a federal skilled worker in May 2010, and submitted full docs after eligibility review in December 2010
I have not heard from CIC till now,

it is really frustrating. I am thinking to apply under Canadian Experience Class parallely, do you guys think it is a wise move?

I strongly feel that even if pre-juners start moving Visa offices will look for applications based on current NOC code Priority.
This is only my assumption..Your inputs will be much appreciated to make up my decision

Regards

[jnathan]

if you got Canadian experience and your NOC is still in the list and has not yet reached the 500th cap.
Apply now, there is no problem in running two separate apps at the same time.
CIC cant inject the huge # of awaiting applicants. they dont have that many jobs.
unemployed person in India, Pakistan could be nothing but it matters a huge in Canada.

lets see what 2012 and early 2013 brings for us
