🇨🇦 Indian fraudster asks for discharge to avoid deportation from Canada

Convicted of eight fraud counts and one theft count, and the pitch to the court is basically please protect my immigration file anyway. That is the absurd late-Trudeau Canada has normalized: a study permit holder gets nailed on surveillance for defrauding his employer of $2,700, then the real tragedy is supposedly the deportation risk. As reported, his permit expires Sept. 30 and he wants sentencing shaped around staying in the country.

This is what happens when the system stops acting like a country and starts acting like a customer service desk for temporary residents. A study permit is not a lifetime entitlement, and a criminal conviction is not a paperwork inconvenience to be massaged away because someone spent money on school and made personal promises here. If Canada cannot even draw a hard line at fraud and theft by a non-citizen whose status is expiring, then border control, visa control, and public trust are all just decorative slogans for managerial liberals.
