Government says it's working to track temporary resident exits following AG report
Officials say 153,000 flagged student visas were reviewed as Canada moves to build an exit-tracking system with border officials.
- Immigration Minister Lena Diab announced plans for a pilot program launching next month to track entry and exit data for international students with expiring visas.
- This initiative follows a government report released earlier this year that found only a handful of potentially problematic student visas were previously investigated.
- Addressing the Standing Committee, Diab confirmed the department reviewed all 153,000 student visas flagged between 2023 and 2024.
- Of those reviewed, 64 per cent were found valid, 22 per cent involved individuals who left or overstayed, and 14 per cent applied for asylum.
- Deputy Immigration Minister Ted Gallivan confirmed the department is collaborating with the Canada Border Services Agency to develop an exit-tracking system by year-end.
