On November 21, 2014 the minister of Immigration, did announce upcoming changes for Faster Removal of Foreign Criminals Act in order to protect the safety and security of Canadians.
According to this announcement not only Foreign Criminals will be removed from Canada but also it will be harder for those who pose a risk to Canadians to enter the country. The new changes will put off and avoid abuse of the immigration system and safeguard Canadians by the followings:
• Harder penalties for misrepresentation will be increased from a two- to a five-year period of inadmissibility, as well as a five-year bar on applying for permanent resident status. This change will sends a strong message to those who would abuse Canadian immigration system by giving false or misleading information.
• Barring temporary entry to immediate family members who are inadmissible to Canada because of serious reason, such as national security, human or international rights violations or organized criminality. This new measure will warrant that those who pose a serious danger are unable to use their relatives to spread out their networks in Canada.
