Canada's border agency did not know the whereabouts of tens of thousands of foreign nationals who were ordered to leave the country, according to a scathing new report from the auditor general. "In two-thirds [34,700] of these cases, the agency did not know the whereabouts of the individuals. Criminal cases languish unresolved, on average, for more than a decade, according to the AG's findings. Wark also said that failing to deal with priority cases, such as dangerous criminals who may pose a threat to Canadians, is an even larger problem. "The CBSA is taking steps to locate foreign nationals whose whereabouts are unknown by completing a review of all outstanding cases, prioritizing criminal cases, and focusing investigations on the most concerning cases," he said in a statement.
