Document Summary
Canada has 5 men in custody who came from countries that supposedly torture in their prisons (amnesty). Canada wanted to deport them back, but they decide that they won"t. Canada then decided (the supreme court) that they will deport back to torturous countries with exception. All but one was released from the kingston penetentary. The dominant group sees these refugees as threats to canadians. Refugees are stopped from leaving a safe third world country. Refugees have to make claims from their home country so that they are stopped before they come to canada. Canada"s refugee policy has the same criteria as for immigrants. Interdiction- refugees have to give documents in order to have permanent residence. If you do not, you have to wait five years until you can get this. Based on the assumption that ppl w. out identification papers abuse the system or they pose a threat b. c they aren"t who they say they are.
