I think there is a simple way to deal with this. It's a very harsh tool that's being used right now. This is in our research, and I provided in my written submissions links to two research papers that I, along with some others, have written. It's very clear that the problem of fraud is not needed. There are other tools in our immigration system that deal with this problem in a more fair and balanced way. As I said, 90% of cases deal with non-fraudulent reasons. There are innocent mistakes, misunderstandings, and language and cultural factors that play into why these persons might not have been identified in the first place, and it has nothing to do with fraud.
There's no breathing room or mechanism to allow for an immigration official who is reviewing a family reunification sponsorship application to consider these things or to provide any leeway in deciding otherwise. This provision applies automatically, and it's very harsh. I think the only way to remedy this is to get rid of that provision.
