Mr. Speaker, that is complete nonsense. It is up to the government to decide how it processes its applications.
What our officers abroad say is that they are ordered to accept any and all student visa applications unless they absolutely know that a school does not exist. That is pretty hard to know from the other side of the planet.
They have appealed to Ottawa to shut down bogus visa schools. They have even given the minister a list of the worst offenders. Yet unbelievably the minister has done absolutely nothing to stop this rip-off of foreign students, to plug a security loophole.
Why have the Liberals not cleaned up these bogus visa schools?
