Well, my understanding is that this allows immigration officers to deem groups inadmissible. If someone is a citizen, this would not impact them. Certainly there could be a potential for misrepresentation. We can leave that open. Immigrants who are permanent or temporary residents, or people applying for one of those categories, are the target of this particular change in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
I think we should also pay attention to the rhetoric of Minister Chris Alexander. The way in which the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration may implement this, I think, is similar to the targeting of certain countries as less desirable. I think you see this in sponsorship application times. If someone is sponsoring a partner or spouse internationally from a country that is perceived as less desirable, the wait time is much longer, two or three years. I think there is a culture of profiling certain groups as more or less worthy. Certainly the scrutiny of marriage fraud falls along those lines. I think this would add to that level of scrutiny.
