A Saskatchewan court has ruled that foreign nationals do not have an inherent right to enter Canada, following a case involving an Indian lab technician whose work permit was revoked.
Justice Andrew Davis, delivering the decision, stated:
- “Foreign nationals have no right to enter Canada.”
- “There is no guarantee of any particular immigration process.”
The case centered around a lab technician who had come to Saskatchewan under the province’s “Occupation In Demand” immigration program. Her work permit was later cancelled after it was discovered that she had used the services of an immigration broker named “Travel Jockey Immigration & Holidays”, based in Surat, India.
This company was allegedly involved in providing fake job offer letters and degrees in exchange for fees of around $1,000, court documents revealed. Immigration officials determined that the documentation used to support her application was fraudulent.
Although the applicant claimed innocence, the court emphasized the importance of maintaining integrity in Canada’s immigration system. Justice Davis remarked:
- “Public trust in the rules and structure of immigration must be preserved.”
He also affirmed that provinces have full authority under their immigration programs to decide whom to accept or reject, reinforcing the legal discretion provinces hold in such matters.
The ruling highlights the serious consequences of using fraudulent services and reinforces that immigration to Canada is a privilege—not a guaranteed right.
