I know someone who entered canada on a plane they had a visa for visiting an it has expired because the date has passed for them to renew it without them knowing. Is that grounds for some hateful people to call immigration to get this person deported from canada? This person works hard stays out of trouble and is always home from work.Please help a.s.a.p and I would also like to know if someone who enters canada on a plane has a baby with someone who is a permanent resident does that enable them to stay in canada. Because they are needed to take care of the baby?

The legal answer is, yes, as a citizen you are SUPPOSED to report crimes and criminals. The moral question belongs on some other Board.

No, if you enter Canada illegally you are NOT entitled to stay. Sneaking into a Country when you have a child does not give you any special privileges. Immigration can put the child in foster care until the situation gets straighened out. If this "worked," every illegal with a child would be in Canada.

Why does the fact that the person entered by airplane matter?

Yes, even loving kind people can call, and report someone who has violated immigration rules

1. Plane, boat or walk into Canada, how they got here does not matter.
2. whose baby, their baby ? Someone else's baby?
3. next sorry they knew the date it would expire, so they merely forgot or ignored it.

But if it is their baby, the other parent can watch the child, or they can take the child back with them to their country if it is their child.

In fact their employer may have to report it, immigration should already know and may have even flaged it theirself.
