Immigration Minister Jason Kenney: Citizens

Citizenship Dept: Last fall, Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said the government had already revoked 19 citizenships from over 3,000 under investigation for fraud since a crackdown was launched in July 2011, according to CTV. And of the 3,000 alleged fraudsters, only 286 have actually been found by the department and given formal notice that their citizenship is on the line and oTTAWA -- Efforts to combat citizenship fraud are creating lengthy backlogs for would-be Canadians while at the same time only slowly weeding out bogus citizens, statistics from the Immigration Department show. But his department now admits only 12 of those revocations are explicitly connected to the fraud investigations. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
