Immigration System: Removal Orders and Case-Management Flaws

immigration system: Problems in sharing information with immigration officials also slowed things down, according to CTV. The border agency is responsible for carrying out removal orders to ensure public safety and the integrity of the immigration system. In a report tabled in Parliament Wednesday, the auditor said the Canada Border Services Agency's efforts were hampered by poor data quality and case-management flaws, resulting in avoidable delays in thousands of cases. The report noted the federal government had made significant investments over the last decade to improve the efficiency of the asylum system, including removals. The agency also lost track of 34,700 people and was not conducting the regular follow-ups to locate them by opening each file at least every three years, or once a year for people with criminal histories. However, the auditor general found, the border agency had not touched thousands of files for years, including some high-priority removals. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
