Document Summary

Sa 345 review - midterm 2 - refugees and security. Capping of 3 refugees accepted from private sponsors. Gov asking more private groups to take on more refugees done to save tax payer $ Bill c 43 - faster removal of foreign criminals act. Without full citizenship you can be: deported if criminally convicted, not allowed to see and examine reason and context of conviction threat of family removal. Permanent residents if convicted of a 6 month or more sentence prior to new bill can still get deported: no access to appeal family also at risk of deportation. Bill c 43 mostly effects long term residents. People suspected of crime outside of canada also at risk. Immigration minister can deny entry to canada to anyone for a period of three years based on undefined "public policy grounds". Mv refugees thrown in jail and subject to mandatory detention upon arrival. Many seekers have psychological issues and detention amplifies this.
