Migrants on the Move out of Canada > More than 10,000 deportations already this year; Ford cuts social assistance from illegal immigrants in Ontario

This has nothing to do with terrorism or the skyrocketing rate of rapes in Europe, particularly England. This has to do with immigrants on temporary student visas, many of whom never saw the university they were supposed to attend. Student visas were used by criminal gangs, especially the Indian mafia Bishnoi gang, which was involved in drug trafficking, extortion, and targeted killings. They may have been used by the government of India for assassinations.

The expulsions also have to do with a severe housing crunch in Canada.

Canada ramps up deportations of illegal immigrants

CBSA agents are finally enforcing the rules at student protests. Temporary visas mean temporary stays — no permanent residency was promised, and document checks aren’t persecution

Data shows that Canada Border Services agents are setting new records for deportations across Canada, as a visible increase in raids and document checks are now occurring. Images of a CBSA raid at an international student protest in Calgary, Alberta, on Wednesday indicate that Canada is beginning to take a more serious and more visible approach to removals.

As of June 30, CBSA records show that over 10k deportations have already occurred in Canada, happening at a rate of 400 per week. Last year, Canada deported over 23,000 people.

Being in Canada on a temporary visa means exactly that: temporary. No one was promised permanent residency, and protesting, demanding extensions, or framing the country as stolen land does not create one. The political sympathy these students once enjoyed has evaporated.

Document checks at these gatherings are not persecution or “Trump-style thuggery” — they are simply how a country determines who still has legal status and who does not. Hunger strike or not, the rules still apply.

Many of these students were clearly misled by shady consultants and marginal colleges. That does not change the fact that they signed temporary visas knowing the terms, and that the real goal for most was never education but a pathway to stay and eventually sponsor extended family. Living here without status only leaves them vulnerable to exploitation. For both their own sake and Canada’s, the clearer path is to go home when the visa ends.

The era of open-ended tolerance for expired status is closing, and that is long overdue.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Ontario Tightens Rules to Bar Illegal Immigrants From Receiving Social Assistance

The Ontario government is implementing new regulations to block people without legal immigration status from receiving social assistance benefits.

Premier Doug Ford took to social media on Aug. 13 to announce amendments have been made to the Ontario Works Act  and the Ontario Disability Support Program Act to clarify the criteria for social assistance eligibility.

“Taxpayer-funded social assistance was never meant to support people living in Ontario illegally,” Ford wrote in an Aug. 13 X post. “As of today, it doesn’t.”

The announcement follows a pledge made by Ford last month to make changes after media coverage about a tribunal decision that granted Ontario Works payments to a man who arrived in Canada decades earlier on a temporary work permit that has since expired.

Ford had commented last month about the case of the man who came to Canada in 1997 on a four-year temporary work permit and never left. The man supported himself with cash-paying jobs for years until entering the homeless shelter system in 2023.

The Ontario Social Benefits Tribunal ruled in May that the man was eligible to receive financial benefits.

Ford said he disagreed with the decision. He wrote in a July social media post that his government would help people who have fallen on hard times, but he emphasized that this did not apply to “people living in Canada illegally.”

The newly announced changes confirm that both those living in Canada illegally and individuals who are authorized to remain temporarily, such as students on a visa, will no longer be able to access social assistance or disability payments. Those with work permits will also not be eligible for benefits.

“These changes will protect taxpayer dollars and ensure these programs are there for the people who they were intended to support,” Social Services Minister Michael Parsa said in a press release, noting that the changes “take effect immediately.”

Tory MP Michelle Rempel Garner, who serves as her party’s shadow immigration minister,  also commented on the man’s case last month, calling the tribunal’s ruling “yet another government action that undermines core principles of our immigration system.”

Rempel Garner last week called on the federal government to back any provincial measures made to maintain the integrity of the immigration system.

Those seeking financial assistance through Ontario Works must be at least 16 years old, be residents of Ontario, and “participate in employment activities,” according to the provincial website. Applicants must demonstrate financial need and cannot have assets exceeding $10,000 for an individual or $15,000 for a couple.

The current guidelines state that a single person without dependents is eligible to receive a maximum of $733 per month, while a couple with two children could qualify for up to $1,553.

CBSA removes 81 individuals linked to extortion from Canada since August 2025

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has removed 81 people from Canada since August 2025 who have been linked to “extortion-related activities.”

In the latest update, issued Thursday (June 25), the CBSA stated that the majority of those removed have been in the Pacific region, which includes B.C. and the Yukon. In total, 46 individuals were in the Pacific region, 17 in the Greater Toronto Area, and 18 in the Prairie region.

The CBSA is part of a B.C. extortion task force that was launched in September 2025. The task force is made up of 40 officers from the B.C. RCMP, Abbotsford Police Department, Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit – B.C. (CFSEU-BC), Delta Police Department, Metro Vancouver Transit Police and Surrey Police Service. It also receives support from the federal RCMP National Co-ordination and Support Team.

A month before the task force was officially launched, the CBSA “implemented enhanced tracking of immigration enforcement cases” that had potential links to extortion in B.C., Alberta and later the Toronto area.

“When police identify individuals who may be in violation of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), they refer these cases to the CBSA for investigation, which may result in enforcement actions, including removal from Canada,” reads the update. “In relation to this work, as of June 18, 2026, the CBSA has opened 484 immigration investigations, 139 removal orders have been issued on various inadmissibility grounds and are in the process of being enforced, with 81 individuals having already been removed from Canada,” reads the CBSA update.

In Surrey, there have been 128 reported extortions, 20 extortion-related shootings, two arsons and 70 victims, 34 of which are repeat victims, in 2026.

Erin O’Gorman, president of Canada Border Services Agency, said, “The CBSA is working side by side with other law enforcement partners to counter extortion, disrupt criminal networks, and prevent further harm to our communities. We are committed to ensuring that individuals involved in these activities cannot find safe haven in Canada.”

On Thursday (June 25), the Surrey Police stated in a press release that the CBSA had two men in its custody in connection with the June 11 extortion-related shooting in the City Centre neighbourhood.

Arman Singh, 21, and Simarjeet Singh, 22, have been charged with one count of reckless discharge of a firearm each. The other two men have not been charged with a criminal offence “at this time,” but as they are foreign nationals, they are in the custody of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), police said. As Arman and Simarjeet are also foreign nationals, the Surrey police have also been in contact with the CBSA about them as well.

In 2025, the CBSA removed 23,160 people from Canada for various reasons. Over 1,000 of those were deemed inadmissible for “serious criminality,” which included national security, war crimes or human rights violations, organized crime, and criminality.

Around 400 people are removed from Canada each week after being deemed inadmissible.

China removes 6 generals from legislature as military anti-corruption drive continues

Apart from the senior commanders, the former Xinjiang party chief and a senior financial regulator were also stripped of their status

China has removed six senior PLA officers from the country’s top legislative body, a sign that President Xi Jinping’s military anti-corruption campaign is not slowing down.

According to a late-night notice issued by the National People’s Congress Standing Committee on Friday, 13 members of the legislature had been removed and one had resigned.

Away from the military, those removed included a former top financial regulator and the former Xinjiang Communist Party chief.

There had already been indications that some of the dismissed People’s Liberation Army commanders were under investigation.

General Xu Xueqiang, from the Central Military Commission’s Equipment Development Department, missed a major party meeting in October.

Meanwhile, Lieutenant General Wang Kangping, from the Eastern Theatre Command, did attend the meeting but was passed over for promotion to full membership of the party’s Central Committee.

Another one of those dismissed, Lieutenant General Yin Hongxing, the political commissar of the Tibet Military Command, was missing when Xi carried out a surprise inspection in the western region last August.

The other three commanders removed on Friday were General Li Fengbiao, the political commissar of the Western Theatre Command; General Guo Puxiao, the political commissar of the air force; and Lieutenant General Zhang Minghua, from the cyberspace force.

The military anti-corruption drive has already brought down dozens of senior commanders, including members of the Politburo.

Some have been placed under investigation for corruption while others have disappeared from public view without explanation.

Of the seven members of the Central Military Commission named at the party’s national congress in 2022, only two remain – Xi and the PLA’s anti-corruption chief, Zhang Shengmin.

Xi has stressed on multiple occasions that the anti-corruption fight in the military will not stop.

“The armed forces wield the gun. There must never be room in the military for those half-hearted towards the party, nor any sanctuary for the corrupt,” he told the annual meeting of the legislature and China’s top political advisory body in March.

The other legislators who were removed included Ma Xingrui, a former member of the Politburo and party boss of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, and his protege Guo Yonghang, the former Guangzhou party secretary.

Ma abruptly stepped down as party secretary of the far western region in July last year, with state news agency Xinhua stating he would be “assigned to another post”. In April he was placed under investigation by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, China’s anti-corruption watchdog.

The commission placed Guo under investigation the previous month.

Li Yunze, the former director of the National Financial Regulatory Administration, has also been removed from the legislature.

His profile was abruptly scrubbed from the regulator’s website in April, and his replacement was appointed the following month.
