Canada’s border agency says it has opened 372 immigration investigations in an effort to “disrupt extortion networks” plaguing British Columbia, parts of the Prairies, and the Toronto area.
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) began formally monitoring immigration enforcement cases potentially linked to extortion in western Canada last August before expanding its oversight to the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) in November, the agency said in a March 18 press release.
