I'm wondering what the consequences are of someone making false immigration accusations against another person.
Here is my problem:
- Someone is trying to settle a personal vendetta with me
- They have threatened to call immigration and tell them that I came here illegally
My situation:
- I was sponsored by my relative and came to Canada in 1988
- I had changed my name legally in my country of residence before I came to Canada and have kept the new name since then
- I became a citizen in 1993 and have not had any issues (run in with the law or anything like that) since I came here
This guy who is sending me completely empty threats telling me that he will call immigration and tell them that I entered illegally and that I changed my name because I was a war criminal and blah blah blah.... to get me deported (I roll my eyes every time he starts talking)
I told him to go ahead and make my day. If Immigration Canada decides to investigate, and when they find out that this guys is lying just trying to be a pain in my butt, is there anything that they can do to him for making false statements... My thought is that they probably cant/wont, but just wondering if anyone knows for sure. He lives in the US, not Canada.
I just want this jerk to get into some trouble so he learns his lesson and stops doing stupid stuff like this.
Thanks,
