With illegal border crossing happening everyday at Roxham border, cases like these are bound to happen even more costing Canadian taxpayer $$$.

Let me guess - you think a wall should be built to prevent it, just with Canadian wild geese instead of alligators and snakes around it

Just fix the loop hole in safe third country agreement that's all.

he immigrated legally on a 10 day visa, there is no connection to illegal immigration here, why would you bring it up?

[thbr99]

A visitor visa is not legal immigration.

I had to state the countries I visited for the past 10 years. Jobs I had for 10 years,purpose etc when I applied for a visa. CBSA also did background checks on me, called one of my employers for verification. I figured all these by access to information reports later on out of curiosity.

How did this guy get a pass with CBSA ?

He had a fake French passport. French citizens (along with many other nationalities) do not need a visa to travel to Canada.

[jaeh]

i guess you applied for a work visa, he applied for a visitor visa.

and yes, a visitor visa is legal immigration for a certain timeframe, after which you overstay your visa.

you still legally immigrated, your charge will be overstaying your visa, not related to your immigration at all.

[DKnoll]

Visitor visas still require the 10 years of work history if you are not from a visa-exempt country (like France).

When you move to a new country with the intent to reside and don't follow the law in regards to entry, you're an illegal immigrant.

It doesn't matter that you were allowed in legally; per the law he was expected to depart and he did not.
