CBSA says efforts to ‘disrupt extortion networks’ led to 70 removal orders

The Canada Border Services Agency reported the issuance of 70 removal orders as part of its efforts to counter extortion networks linked to immigration in Canada.

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has announced it opened 372 immigration investigations aimed at disrupting extortion networks operating throughout Canada. This initiative began in earnest last August, initially focused on the Pacific and Prairie regions before expanding to the Greater Toronto Area in November. The CBSA has issued 70 removal orders based on various grounds of inadmissibility, with 35 of those orders enforced as of last Thursday, highlighting the agency's commitment to tackling this issue.
