Human Smuggling Dept: Canada is one of the largest destination countries for Asian immigration, and a personal visit by the minister responsible will help focus the energies of the source countries on fighting fraud, according to Globe And Mail. When it comes to human smuggling, there is more work to do. Although Mr. Kenney is not visiting Thailand, a key transit point for human smuggling of Tamils from Sri Lanka, he can raise the need for more information sharing and regional security co-operation with the Indians and Chinese and source countries for migrants may feel they have less of an immediate stake in the issue. But immigration fraudsters dupe their own citizens, and work in networks that may branch into other areas of crime. For immigrants, scams and crimes are broken promises that lead to broken homes and a burden of debt owed to middlemen. For Canada, that often means the entry of the wrong people into the country, while others Canada would prefer are forced to wait, or never get their chance to come. But the trip is also needed because Canada needs to demonstrate resolve at home to stop immigration-related crimes. Current reforms, including the additional “safe country” designation as part of the refugee determination process, and pending changes to the immigration consultant and live-in caregiver regimes, go some way.
