Immigration Official: Visa Applications

Public Officials Dept: "Canada s enforcement of the foreign bribery offence is still lagging," the OECD said in a statement, according to CBC. The OECD noted Canada has completed the prosecution of only one company since it enacted its foreign bribery law 12 years ago. Calgary-based Hydro Kleen was fined $25,000 for bribing a U.S. immigration official to favourably process visa applications for its employees and canada needs to do a better job of investigating and prosecuting the bribery of foreign public officials by Canadian companies, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development says. "Canada's regime for enforcement of the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act CFPOA remains problematic in important areas." An OECD report notes that only one Canadian company has been convicted of breaking the country's 12-year-old law against foreign bribery. iStock As reported in the news.
