Ottawa is for the first time to track which foreign students and other temporary foreign residents have left the country after their permits to remain in Canada expire, Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab told a committee of MPs on Monday.
Economists have been warning for years that Canada has been dramatically undercounting the number of temporary residents living here by presuming that international students and others leave the country after their permits and visas run out.
Minister @CitImmCanada says she’s unsure what became of 800 foreign students identified as fraudsters in federal audit by @OAG_BVG 6 weeks ago.
“I don’t have that information.”

There’s a pattern here. Carney puts extremely stupid people in charge of important portfolios knowing they will outright lie if needed. They simply lack the dignity to admit they’re in over their heads.
