OTTAWA — The federal auditor general says Canada’s border agency has failed to promptly remove most of the people under orders to leave the country.
In a report tabled in Parliament today, the auditor says the Canada Border Services Agency’s efforts were hampered by poor data quality and case-management flaws, resulting in avoidable delays in thousands of cases.
Problems in sharing information with immigration officials also slowed things down.
The border agency is responsible for carrying out removal orders to ensure public safety and the integrity of the immigration system.
