Lie Led To Deportation to India

Some immigrants respected Canada’s immigration process, that’s why they are here. They submitted genuine documents and other information. Others are clever and try to jump the line, like the 700 former students from India that lied about being accepted in Canadian universities.

They are trying to drum up sympathy so that they are not deported. Their main defence is that they did not know the college acceptance letters were fake, all 700 of them, from the same immigration consultant. Deportation is being sent home and it’s ironic they don’t want to leave. It’s an immigrant trait. We sing one song when Canada accepts us: back home. Everything we left back home suddenly becomes good and golden.

We use every dollar we make to preserve the beauty, tradition and home religion. There’s nothing wrong with that. European immigrants did it.  That’s why there are Protestant and Catholic churches. The untold story is that Canada is lonely because most of the time, we love back home so much, we don’t like anything Canadian. Some men do not declare that they have two wives because they think Canada is stupid. Other communities hide that wives are fifteen years old.

Once we get here, we perpetuate hate that was intrinsic back home. It could be oppression of a certain religion, a particular economic class or people who have a deep black skin. Therefore, being deported should make us happy. We’re going back home. We don’t. We fight it, which means there are many good things about the living space called Canada.

Conclusion

If we want to attain citizenship, we should not lie to immigration. The 700 former students know they lied. They should let the deportation process take its course. After all, they are not sent to a death chamber. They are going back home. Canada says they could apply to come back after five years. There are thousands of applicants waiting patiently around the world, because they are not clever.
