Visitors To Canada

Jason Kenney Dept: The Faster Removal of Foreign Criminals Act, tabled Wednesday, will allow the government to automatically deport refugees, immigrants and visitors to Canada who are convicted of a serious crime and serve more than six months in jail. Those criminals will lose their right to appeal the decision, which would allow them to extend their stay in the country, according to CTV. "Canadians believe that even foreign criminals should get their day in court. But they shouldn't get endless years in court, delaying their inevitable deportation," he said and immigration Minister Jason Kenney announced new measures Wednesday to expedite the deportation of foreigners who commit crimes in Canada, saying it's time to end the "abuse of Canada's generosity." "These tough but fair measures will ensure that foreign criminals won't be allowed to endlessly abuse Canada's generosity," Kenney said at a news conference in Ottawa. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
