International students are not required to get police certificates from law enforcement in their home countries before coming to Canada — something critics say needs to change.
People applying for permanent residency, citizenship or International Experience Canada (commonly known as the working holiday visa) are required to produce such police certificates, which give Canadian officials early warning of an applicant’s possible criminal history in their country of origin.
But Canadian visa officers don’t necessarily have access to police-drafted documents when deciding whether to admit an international student.
How bout no international students for a good long while.
