Canada to revoke citizenship from 3,100 people
Published September 10, 2012
Associated Press
The Canadian government says it has begun the process of revoking citizenship from 3,100 people it says obtained it fraudulently.
Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said Monday that in most of these cases, applicants paid a representative to prove they were living in Canada for the period of time required to establish residency when they were, in fact, living abroad.
The government says it is also investigating thousands of others who may have lied to obtain or maintain permanent residency. Kenney says anyone caught committing fraud will be stripped of citizenship and residence status.
The minister says the actions are the result of a three-year crackdown on immigration fraud.
He says federal agencies have so far removed or denied admittance to more than 600 former permanent residents linked to the investigations.

Their just trying to make a point about illegals, because they are afraid they'll end up with an issue like we have in the States. Sadly, they are punishing people like Neil, who are trying to do things right.

Same with any Government. People who play by the rules to get their wife into the country pay a heavy price.
As for Canada look at how big the Country is and how small the population in comparison.

NZ Herald: Thousands from India failing student visa bids
By Lincoln Tan
5:30 AM Thursday Jul 19, 2012
Immigration New Zealand has declined on average about 10 student visa applications from Indian nationals each day
- mainly because they contain false or misleading information.
In the past 12 months, more than half of the 7500 failed student applications have been from India.
AND
An AUT survey reported in the Weekend Herald which found 93 international students working illegally
in Bay of Plenty orchards while supposedly studying business, IT and cookery.
He met one Indian student whose uncle had brought a large number of workers across from India.
He signed them all up on courses in private training schools in Auckland, then they travelled to a
Bay of Plenty kiwifruit centre to work for him.
"It's very organised ... There's a lot of them that would drive up from Napier, Hastings or the eastern
Bay of Plenty to Auckland once a fortnight to the school, just to mark attendance, sign off on work
that they haven't even done and it just keeps them going."
Many contractors squeezed up to 20 workers into an ordinary house, breaching safety and fire
regulations and undercutting legal backpacker hostels.
The AUT survey found students in the orchards worked for $8 to $11 an hour for up to 55 hours a week,
breaching the minimum wage and their student visa, which allowed them to work only 20 hours a week.
