🇨🇦 Permanent resident who sexually interfered with girl, 15, aimed to dodge deportation

The most revealing part is not the crime. It is the routine expectation that Canada must bend its justice system so a permanent resident can keep one more layer of protection from removal after assaulting a 15-year-old girl. According to the court details reported, Harpreet Singh wanted 182 days so he could preserve appeal options against deportation. Not innocence. Not accountability. Process management.

To the judge’s credit, he said no. A sentence crafted around immigration strategy would understate the gravity of a deliberate predatory attack on a child and create exactly what Canada keeps pretending it does not have: a softer, parallel outcome for non-citizens when deportation gets politically treated as too harsh. This is what happens when the country is run as a borderless moral vanity project instead of a nation with standards. If you are here as a guest and commit crimes against children, your residency should not become a legal cushion. It should become a fast track out.
