In December 2023, a non-citizen went to a hotel here in Canada to meet a 15-year-old for sex. He had agreed to pay for these services. He only received three months of house arrest and was allowed to go shopping for three hours every Sunday throughout these three months. His sentencing was lessened so as not to affect his immigration status.
Do you think the criminal inadmissibility component—subsection 36(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act—kept Canadians safe in this situation?
