There's no enforcement mechanism in place to follow through with these plans, and that's part of the injustice and unfairness. Clients sink a lot of resources into building these plans only to become permanent residents, and then, as I said before, they evaporate into thin air. Some of my clients have said to me, “Why was the government so concerned that I had to invest all of this money and work with you to build a plan, and then I'm a permanent resident and there's no follow-through at all?”
I should also mention that in order for there to be follow-through, the government has to be prepared to sink significant resources into tracking these mitigation plans. The government would have to establish a mechanism for the provinces to report on individuals who create mitigation plans so as to track their health and social service spending in every province. If they move, the government would basically have to speak with every province to track what they've been doing. That would raise huge privacy concerns, so it might be impractical as well as very costly. Then there's the whole enforcement mechanism that would need to follow. We're talking about removal orders, appeals, challenges.
It would be an extremely expensive project for the government to come up with some kind of enforcement for these mitigation plans.
