News Release — Minister Kenney Proposes Guidelines on Barring Harmful People from Canada


Ottawa, October 24, 2012 — People who promote terrorist activity or incite hatred which is likely to lead to violence could be barred from Canada, according to proposed guidelines released today by Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney.

The Faster Removal of Foreign Criminals Act, introduced in Parliament on June 20, 2012, includes several proposed changes to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act to protect the safety and security of Canadians. Among the proposed changes is a new ministerial authority to refuse temporary resident status to foreign nationals on the basis of public policy considerations.

“This authority ensures that we do not let in those who, for example, have a track record of promoting hatred and inciting violence against vulnerable groups,” said Minister Kenney. “The intent is that this authority be used very sparingly and with caution. We want to ensure that we strike the right balance in describing the scope of this authority, which is why I've tabled the guidelines in Parliament and welcome the feedback of parliamentarians.”

The proposed guidelines, introduced by Minister Kenney before the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration, illustrate scenarios where the Minister may choose to exercise his authority. The proposed guidelines outline two categories of behaviour and activities whereby a foreign national may be refused temporary resident status: 1) individuals who promote terrorism, violence or criminal activity including individuals who incite hatred that is likely to lead to violence against a specific group; and 2) certain foreign nationals from sanctioned countries or corrupt foreign officials.

This new authority would allow the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism to deny temporary resident status to a foreign national for a period of up to three years, on the basis of public policy considerations. The authority is intended to be used only in exceptional circumstances.

Unlike many of our key international partners, including the United Kingdom, the United States, New Zealand, and Australia, which already have similar measures in place, Canada currently does not have a mechanism to prevent certain foreign nationals who are otherwise admissible from entering Canada, even though it is in the public interest that they be kept out.

“For years, Ministers of Immigration have been asked by members of federal and provincial parliaments, stakeholders, and Canadians to refuse entry to individuals who promoted hateful rhetoric, yet we were powerless to act,” said the Minister. “This authority would apply to the handful of exceptional cases each year where there are no other legal grounds to keep such people out of the country to protect the safety and security of Canadians.”

The Minister will report annually to Parliament on the number of instances the new authority is used.

The new discretionary authority for refusal is meant to be flexible, allowing for case-by-case analysis and quick responses to unpredictable and fast-changing events. It would allow the Minister to make a carefully-weighted decision, taking into account the public environment and potential consequences.

To view the proposed guidelines, consult the Backgrounder.

Dear All:
Please share your thought about below.
We are seeing that the docs requested by SGVO in MR differs from applicant to applicant. Some applicants are asked only PCC and RPRF. Some of them PCC,RPRF, Background Declaration, Updated IMM5669 and in some cases Bank Statement, net worth etc.

I think it's because when i submitted proof of fund with all documents, BDT/CAD rate was 72. Now it is 85. Thats why my fund has been depleted now. I shown POF only which was required for us, not too much than that. But those who have shown POF much more than the requirement, SVO is not asking for fund related documents now.

Not possible because If I go in Singapore than I need to take PCC+ Landinf fee draft+ update information all with me but they need to confirm the landing fee. I think it will take time to verify.

So at the end it is useless to go Singapore rather to VFS

Dear Rashed202/All Seniors,

I am also in same situation due to join a preschedule tranning i can't be able to submit my passport by 60 days then what can i do?


Pls. suggest me.
