The reality of Canadian politics.

[Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @jkenney]

I see the @TorontoStar is running its daily immigration sob story.

Must be a day ending in "y."

"This poor person came to Canada temporarily (or illegally) and wants to stay forever, but can't."

In my five years as immigration minister, I observed that stories like this are part of the playbook of certain immigration consultants and lawyers.

It's their Hail Mary pass.

When their client runs of out legal recourses to convert their inadmissibility or temporary residency into permanent residency, they call their favourite bleeding heart reporter at the Star or the CBC, and voila: a completely one sided "human interest" story.

The tactic is guaranteed to get the attention of the Minister's office, elevating it from the millions of cases that IRCC has to deal with.

Oddly enough, the foreign national / illegal migrant almost never signs a Privacy Act waiver allowing the government to share all the facts of the case with the media.

But for the Star and CBC, that's never a problem. The sob story is always more compelling when it's completely one sided.

We can all feel empathy for people who would like to stay in Canada forever, but who don't qualify. But a well managed immigration system must be based on the rule of law, not empathy.

The gullible journalists never report the basic fact that EVERYONE admitted to Canada on a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV,) e.g. foreign students and TFWs, declare in their application that they will respect the terms of the visa, and leave at the end of their authorized stay.

In fact, they must submit evidence of "establishment factors" in their application to persuade a Canadian visa officer that, on a balance of probabilities, they will return home at the end of their temporary stay. They then reconfirm their intention to stay *temporarily* when they arrive at a port of entry.

That doesn't bar them for applying for permanent residency in the future. But it is not a promise or guarantee of PR, regardless of what their dodgy immigration consultant told them back home.

The catastrophic mismanagement of the immigration system over the past decade has created huge negative consequences, including undermining Canada's historic pro-immigration consensus.

None of that will be reversed if we let stories like this distort a fair, rules-based immigration system into a one based on selectively applied empathy.

I don’t know all the issues with Nolan’s Odyssey because I saw a black Helen of Troy and a tiny troon playing a war hero and I didn’t give him my money because the movie was obviously made to destroy my civilization

Is that so hard?
