The Canada Border Services Agency said thousands of inadmissible foreigners were let into the country under the temporary resident permit program that previously failed four audits.
And fewer than half — about 48 % — of 168 permits checked at random followed the rules, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
“Without monitoring and confirming the departure of these travellers, the agency cannot take enforcement action, particularly for persons who may pose a risk to Canada,” said the CBSA report.
The program, which allows foreigners — otherwise prohibited from Canada — to stay up to three years and qualify for health and welfare benefits, failed audits in 2008, 2017, 2019 and 2021.
Customs officers can issue the $200 permits to border-crossers if they are “satisfied the foreign national’s need to enter or remain in Canada is compelling enough to overcome the health and safety risks to Canadian society.”
Rules require that permit-holders show “compelling reasons to warrant the issuance of the permit and how it outweighs the risks.”
More than 6,000 permits a year were issued prior to the pandemic, said the CBSA report, but that number fell by almost two-thirds to 2,044 in 2020 due to pandemic lockdowns and Quarantine Act enforcement.
The report said of the 168 permit-holders audited, 23% were from Ukraine and Afghanistan.

To hear the bells of freedom chime
To hell with your double standards
We're coming rougher every time
We're coming rougher
We're coming rougher
We're coming rougher every time
Immigrada immigraniada
Immigrada immigraniada-da
Immigrada immigraniada
We're coming rougher every time
All those who made it and quickly jaded
To them we got nothing to say
Our immigrada, immigraniada
For them it's Don Quixote's kind of way
But if you give me the invitation
To hear the bells of freedom chime
To hell with your double standards
We're coming rougher every time
