“Relatives and neighbors of the Patels said the family left for Canada on a visitor's visa about a week before the migrants were found. The family is said to have paid the equivalent of about $1,000 to an immigration agent to get them to the United States.”

They were not from Canada, but India. Had only been in Canada less than a week. They left India with the intention of being smuggled into the USA from Canada. This sounds like we have a problem at our Northern border also.

What an indictment of Canadian Border Services. I know several families who had immediate family members denied visitor visas on the basis that “because of Covid” they were limiting the number of visitors. So how does an entire family from a village in India convince the immigration officials that they were coming to Canada in the dead of winter for sightseeing, when there are severe Covid lockdowns across the country?! Unless you’re travelling with skis and booked at a ski resort anyone would know this was a scam.
