Over the past 11 years, Canada's Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has forgiven or waived criminal convictions for more than 17,600 foreign nationals, allowing them to enter the country. This practice has raised concerns about transparency, as the IRCC has not disclosed the nature or severity of the offenses forgiven. The lack of detailed information has contributed to a loss of public trust in Canada's immigration system. Critics argue that this policy has allowed individuals with criminal backgrounds, including potentially violent offenders and terrorists, to settle in Canada without adequate screening. The issue has sparked calls for greater transparency and reform to restore confidence in immigration processes. Concurrently, there is ongoing debate over Canada's bail system, with critics blaming recent Liberal government bail reforms, including bills C-5 and C-75, for enabling repeat violent offenders to be released back into the community. Government officials have promised legislative action in the fall to address bail and border security concerns, aiming to reduce gun crime and improve public safety. The controversy highlights broader challenges in balancing immigration policy, public safety, and criminal justice reforms under the current Liberal administration led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Minister of Immigration Mark Carney.
