As of last year, there were about 50,000 people in Canada with enforceable removal orders
As of April 2019, there were about 50,000 people in Canada with enforceable removal orders. Two-thirds of these—34,700 cases — involved individuals whose whereabouts were unknown. Of these, 2,800 had criminal histories.
“Without a reliable inventory of removal orders, the agency could not effectively prioritize removals according to risk and complexity. We also found cases in which the agency was unaware that removal orders had been issued,” it said. “All recognize that voluntary returns are preferred to enforced removals, are more cost-effective, and facilitate rapid departures.”The government will do a better job of ensuring the integrity of the system, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pledged at a news briefing Wednesday.
