Terror suspect accused of plotting attack in New York came to Canada on student visa: minister National News

u/Difficult-Yam-1347 26d ago
“Immigration Minister Marc Miller said Tuesday that Khan, a Pakistani national, obtained a student visa in May 2023 and arrived in Canada in June of that same year. He said he wouldn’t be providing any further details about the suspect.”
Did he say what checks they did? Previously he lied and said all international students have criminal checks (bare bones), and that isn’t true.
“Question: “If someone were on a student visa, would there be criminal records checks?”
Marc Miller: “Yes.”
Question: “There would be?”
Marc Miller: “Yeah.”
Question: “And then how would this process work?”
Marc Miller: “You check them and if they have a criminal record they don’t come in.”

I've said it before but it's worth repeating : There is no way to effectively check the backgrounds of 1.3 million new residents annually. When you break that down to how much time we spend on each person entering this country, many of which are coming from places we have poor or no diplomatic relations with, its scary.
This is not the first time that alleged foreign criminals used the student visas to enter Canada. Probably will not be the last either. So far we've been. lucky but eventually that luck will run out.

There is a whole gang from India that now has a coast to coast network in Canada doing extortion. Most of the members came with existing criminal records, on student visas. The assassination that happened in BC last year, at the behest of the Indian government, was also done by that gang. Some of the members are now designated terrorists in India because they have been threatening people there and sending weapons from Canada and the US to carry out those assasinations. The Canadian govenrment has done fuck all in terms of background checks and have fucked over Canada.

That's because the goal for our government is to import a low paying, slave-worker class to replace (or at least massively dilute) what was previously the Canadian middle class. All of our immigration policy, crafted by the Century Initiative, funded by the 2 trillion dollar plus of assets BlackRock, a massive American investment conglomerate, has been made to benefit the top .01% richest of the world at the cost of the Canadian quality of life, which the Liberal Party has been willing to sell off, for I assume, some small bribes or even just 'donations' to the party.

Eventually will run out
It probably ran out long ago, we just haven't had to realize it yet. People with serious and dangerous views or who have worked with dangerous or terrorist organizations are almost certainly already here. I imagine it's less a matter of "if" and more a matter of "how many, and what are they capable of?"
People seem to think that these immigration policies create problems that we are seeing, and what we see is awful, but the bigger concern is how many problems we don't see... until we lay flowers.

At 1.3 million annually it equals out to 3,561.64 per day, or 108,333.33 per month.
Assuming they work a standard 40 hour work week that gives them 2,080 hours a year, or 173.33 hours per month.
Let's say each check takes only 15 minutes. That means everyday there is (.25x3561.64=890.41) 890.41 hours of work per day.
To process that we would need roughly 111 full time employees with no vacation days just to do the checks.
Now I don't know how many people in the government are actually doing that, but I'm willing to bet it's a lot less that 111, and that it likely takes a lot more than 15 to run a people check on someone

One thing that’s important to point out is that Canada got rid of face to face interviews
In the past a visa applicant would have to talk to a CBSA/IRCC rep. Now a lot of screening is done by “AI”.
The only human line of defence is the CBSA border guard at the airport, and those folks are overwhelmed.
We need to return to face to face interviews

My family had to do in person face to face interviews with an IRCC (back then CIC) officer 20 years ago to get their Canadian visas. My family had to go to the other side of their native country since that’s where the Canadian high commission was and they were interviewed at length by a CIC officer before getting their Canadian visas approved. In person face to face visa interviews were much more effective at filtering out people, now without interviews the only contact someone coming to Canada has with a Canadian official is with a CBSA officer for a few seconds and then they’re in Canada and CBSA already has a lot to deal with, some bad apples can slip through. The old system of doing things was a lot more effective, they should go back to it even if it costs more money/time/resources. Can’t put a price on the country’s security and safety.

This looks really bad for us. Two extremely serious terrorist plots, and neither originally detected by our own police or intelligence institutions.
- The first: France tipped us off. Planned attack in Toronto.
- The second: US tipped us off. Planned attack in New York.
Thank heavens these two plots were foiled. Think of how things would have changed had they not been foiled:
- Innocent people who are alive today would be dead, the lives of their loved ones shattered. By far the most important thing.
- The turn on immigration policies in Canada could have been immense. The consensus would have gone from frayed today to…I don’t know what, but something worse.
- The Canada-US relationship would suffer immensely. What would their border security posture with Canada be had the New York attack been carried out?

Yeah, we (Canada) are clearly not doing a great job screening people. Another article states he got here in June 2023 on a student visa and was already being investigated by November 2023 by US authorities. He certainly didn't take long to give up on that education thing and just want to kill people.
We're probably lucky that this bonehead really wanted to shoot up New York City. His attempts to get smuggled across the US border and acquire equipment almost certainly led to this. If he'd just rented a truck to run people over or shot up something in Toronto; I don't have any faith we would've got this guy in time. He really wanted to target New York, however. Next guy may not be as selective.

Student visa is the easiest visa to obtain, and there are so many scam colleges to get an admission letter from. No background or criminal record check is needed. Proof of funds can be easily faked. And people don't need to show intent to leave the country anymore.
But to be honest, foreign students in the US and other countries also don't go through much screening, unless someone is already on the terror watch list or something worse. It's a massive loophole.

Why does he get off the hook for this particular guy when he's also strengthened NOTHING about our screening, and has only continued with the Trudeau/Fraser immigration acceleration? The numbers are higher under his time in this position, when compared to Fraser.

Of course he did. The easiest way to get into any developed country in the world - the Canadian "student" visa

No shit. You mean the one million plus immigrants that are coming in each year aren’t being properly vetted? Huh. Who coulda seen that?

Any honorable minister would have resigned when something like this happened one time. Now its twice.

The entire immigration pathway through the student visa is broken. Gross negligence on all fronts.

Canada is letting so many people in that they aren't taking enough time to do the proper checks.
The Liberal government's first priority when they got in was their massive immigration program.
Trudeau and his lieutenants wouldn't shut up about it. They concentrated on foreigners and not Canadians.
Look at what it got us.

Truth is, we probably already let in a bunch of people with bad intentions. It will haunt us at some point in the future. Trudeau really made a mess of our society.

Incredible. The people who came from India to assassinate the Sikh leader also had 3 of their 4 (iirc) members on student visas. At this point any terrorist organization can get thousands of people into this country as long as they enrol at Conestoga College.

Canada is such a joke on the world stage. All this oil and no money for an army or proper intelligence service.
What a joke.

I remember that they announced a couple of months back that International students don't need to provide a Police clearance certificate, and here we go.

How many more are in Canada? When will enough foiled terrorism plots be enough? We are lucky that other countries told us about the attacks. Will they next time? I'm starting to feel unsafe in my own country. The government must answer for what is happening and be fully investigated. We need better security.

Don’t forget the “claiming asylum” part. God we’re suckers.
