CANADA: RCMP INVESTIGATING WIDESPREAD CITIZENSHIP FRAUD

This article appeared in today's front page of the Globe and Mail for the third day in a row. This is quite serious, as a matter not only of fraud, but also national security. However, this is not surprising, as the citizenship and immigration enforcement has been typically lax in Canada.

Hijacker denied right to become a lawyer in Ontario - The Globe and Mail

Incredible story, it shows how many holes exist in our dumb immigration system, but finally some common sense prevailed, at least at some level. I find it amazing that someone who has been in a deportation process for years and had no status in Canada, managed to get into law school in the first place, it is unclear from the storyhow this happened. It is also unclear whether he received any government assistance or student loans. Law school admissions are usually tough, only one in three or four applicants is admitted, so I would like to know who admitted this candidate....This story is truly amazing.
