Nearly 30,000 individuals wanted for deportation are currently at large in Canada, newly-released documents suggest.
In a response to an order paper question filed by Fort McMurray-Cold Lake MP Laila Goodridge on deportation cases currently before the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), 29,731 people are listed as “wanted” by immigration authorities — described as those who failed to appear for deportation proceedings, including those with immigration warrants issued against them.
The vast majority — 21,325 — went missing from Ontario, the largest cohort of immigration absconders in the country.
