for me very hard to believe; this people living in the USA, get here, and no money?? WHY WE HAVE TO GAVE THEM EVERYTHING,??? what about our own people?? no food no money but this "HUMAN " get it , what they want, PLEASE GO HOMEEEEE!!!!!!!! we was a legal landed immigrant 1986 but we was working in SWITZERLAND then they kicked us out, we was honest, we told them , we have a money, from jan. _ may we had to show the Canadian ambassador how much money we have, and we got here but no help. only the English school and we was so happy, 3 years later we asking the citizenship and we got it, THANK YOU CANADA

citizenship ceremony? lol, how easy to get canadian passport. they don't even need to speak english for it.

Perhaps his citizenship should be revoked...perhaps we don't want him to continue to benefit from our generous society !!!!!

Canada should match the US requirements for citizenship. Live here for 10 years before you can apply. They're giving citizenships out like candies.

if you can't even speak the language of the country that you are trying to become citizenship of then why you should be given citizenship?

It's so hard to get Canadian citizenship. Even to enter. I had 1. 1 parking ticket and I was turned away. Sad. I took care of it but I believe my chances are slim even though I would literally sell my soul to be a Canadian citizen

I went on a date with a recent immigrant from China. She had a fake job in Montreal which her parents back in China pay for. All she does is study French at “work” and collects a “pay Cheque” so she can pass the job / language checks and get her citizenship via Quebec, before she heads to Vancouver. Canadian/provincial immigration is completely broken and needs to be fixed.

If the clients are Chinese people living in China, then why try to fraud Canadian citizenship?

there is also a big problem of immigrants coming here & having baby's so they can get citizenship also,but also not paying the bill at the hospital for the bill. for delivery of baby.This is big in British Columbia.

what was the benefit of maintaining a Canadian citizenship if you weren't even going to live in Canada???

ANY person who commits a crime in order to come to the country and get citizenship should be automatically fingerprinted and given a penalty ... like a 5 year wait ........ before they can try again... and if they do not do apply honestly ... they will never be given another chance... what would happen if I did that in their country???? .... pretty sure I would do jail time..

Check out the W-5 story on the massive PNP fraud and sold citizenship to Chinese immigrants.

I am naturalized Canadian. Have had never troubles with law . Have been paying tax since I immigrated to this beautiful country. Why this culprit is not being deported? He doesn't deserve to be a Canadian. When he got the citizenship he swore to obey the laws of this great country. Such behavior should not be tolerated. Tax payers are being punished for lack of legal system against such criminals. I am sure all these people he helped were aware that they were lying.

Lol, this scammer only get a few years and $900,000 fine. What a joke. He made over millions. I’d strip his citizenship and deport back to where he is from. Shame on immigration as well, letting these crooks in the first place.

I hope this guy's citizenship got abolished

Canada must be making a lot of money from it. China would never put up with this they would stop you from entering in a minute, or deport you. Like I said someone is making money to look the other side. Must be laughing at how much they are defrauding them.\n\nAre you kidding me then the attitude Sunny Wang. Looks like citizenship is a piece of cake if you can buy it. Makes me wonder if this goes on in the US probably does. Canada has the one thing that China doesn't have excellent medical care. They need to create a flag in the program. Having so many people with one address should have been a flag to delay or investigate citizenship.

Darn. I'm 67, was hoping I could pay Sonny Wang a few bucks for Canadian citizenship so I could live my retirement years in a cabin by Cold Lake.

Is that supposed to be a scandal?\n\nWe accept illegal immigrant crossing the border from USA and we put them in hotels, give them even more money than we give to people who paid the government all their life.\n\nWe put an immigrant as the immigration minister.\n\nAnd after that we are supposed to be surprised about something like that?\n\nI would send Ahmed Hussen back in his original country. \n\nI would send those who cross the border illegally directly in prison in shackles and leave their belonging where they stand. I would give them a treatment similar the country they come from, not a five star hotel treatment. Then send every illegal immigrant in their country. Strip immigrant, facilitating illegal immigration, from the citizenship and ban them from entering Canada for 10 years and ban them from ever getting citizenship.\n\nBut we don't ever strip someone of his Canadian citizenship if they committed crimes.\n\nBUT COMMON SENSE IS NOT THE STRENGTH OF THE LIBERALS. \nWE HAVE A CRIMINAL AS A PRIME MINISTER.

its' called dual citizenship

English illiterate applying for citizenship??? WTF!!

They need Canadian citizenship ship so if china goes rogue on its citizens they can leave fast with their wealth.

?can't speak English but want a citizenship ???

Our Citizenship is not for sale!

is 2 years enough to apply for citizenship in canada!!!?prolly only for chinese...

So, why don't you guys bring the same issue about the dual citizenship of israelis. Quit your hypocritical bullshit.

I need 6.5 english to study in canada ...people getting citizenship without know english ..Great

He should lose his Canadian citizenship

All this just to have a western nation citizenship

Every immigrant pays for citizenship, or did you thought it was free.

Can someone explain to me I didn’t get the dollar amounts, 9000 a person?\nWhat’s this done to get unemployment from the government in someway? \n\nFrom what I understood all these people wanted was double citizenship so they can leave to Canada anytime from China

The real question in all of this is: why are people so desperate to obtain citizenship in a country they don't want to live in? This is the real crime. Report on that aspect fifth estate so we can see some real journalism.

That's totally wrong. Why ppll think if immigrants r criminal they should be strip down their citizenship. Dont forgot every person who land in Canada in last 150 years. is a immigrant n their kids as well.

A great country but in this case Canadian government should strip him his citizenship and deport him

I sincerely hope all of these dirty crooks get stripped of nor only their citizenships but also any & all assets there. \n\nI often wonder how a nation which such a rich past has ended up a nation of ants.

The matter of the fact is that Canada is become a joke in the worldwide world. If you see all the scandals of of people scamming in all different ways [birth citizenships, mules bringing aliens, criminals fleeing via their consulate etc & etc] This guy got 2 years but he has 10 millions maybe hidden in the Bahamas, so was it worth it??

why Chinese people need a Canadian citizenship? china is growing than any another country, just out of curiosity

You can literally buy a passport/ citizenship from any countries even the country that don't sell passport/ citizenship. You can donate money, buy the passport, invest heavily in their country or doing a big project in their country, that's some of the ways to get citizenship/ passport without getting troubles. A passport/ citizenship to another is not a big deal when you have hundreds of million dollars cause you can live anywhere you want.

Are they not proud Chinese citizens oh... I get it now, they makev ONLY take Canadians citizenship so they can get taxpayer assistance for low wage workers. While in truth they're running a business or living without need for being daily employed this is totally outrageous... how is the average person to ever prosper or accumulated anything by working hard and the rich steal every sheckel and short the rules to take every inch...

A lot of the rich the world around are corrupt greedy and soulless why by citizenship just come and go as a valid traveler to and from....

I KNEW they were Chinese just from the thumbnail. This is like the newborn citizenship thing that is done in the US (and probably Canada too). Jeez, China is doing so well...no one wants to be here anymore. LOL

Can somebody explain to me why these people would want citizenship in a country that they aren't willing to live in?

*geez louise she was just there for 2 mnths and already wanted citizenship!..wHaa..T?.. not even able to speak freaking English, my word..why not just wait the 2 freaking years, iIT'S JUST 2 YEARS!...and she was there acting all innocent..they all knew what they were doing. this world has no patience. send them all back to China*

I can almost assure you he is back in the business along with hundreds if not thousands of crooked Immigration consultants doing the same thing! Just look up the name Mahmoud Reza Khavari ! He was the director of Iranian National as well as Central Bank ( treasury ) for the exact period he reported was living in Canada! After obtaining Canadian Citizenship fraudulently he embezzled $350Million Government money and fled Iran for good! He is the INTERPOL most wanted and currently living in a mansion in Toronto's Bridle Path! Canada is crawling with criminals like him!

Strip off citizenship, kick them out Canada. If lied & fraud

The clients should receive the same sentence and stripped of their permanent residency or citizenship and be deported.

I think there are more cases like that. In the middle east you see so many Canadian immigrants living there and then getting citizenship but living in the Middle east

A few things do not make sense. For example, they have their own translator to lie for them, How is it possible that there is no counter measures in placed? i.e. immigration's own translator. Just like sports, you have more than 1 referee in a game. Secondly, how is it possible to become to citizen without knowing either English or French? (referring to the need of translator for citizenship test) If they love the country enough to migrate, shouldn't they have similar values? It seems like they are just here for benefits? Why is the immigration criteria being so loose?

I am not gonna die because of Canadian citizenship . thousand of thousand Canadian citizen come to my country in Iceland . when I asked why you leave your country come to iceland ? they don’t have any right answers our economic is high . our money is high . our job is high than Canada . there is no any economic in Canada . especially right now . Trodu pissed of in Canada . everything is destroyed . economic political also

She applied for citizenship? Fraudulent or not, is anyone allowed to apply even if they can't speak English/French? I don't know what Canadian immigration law says about language.

This dude should had been strip on his Canadian Citizenship and deported back to where ever he came from.
