Coming just as Statistics Canada confirms there are now three million temporary immigrants in the country, the encounter is yet another hint that they are not taking kindly to Trudeau government suggestions that it’s time for them to go.

During Monday testimony before the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration, Miller was grilled by Conservative MP Tom Kmiec about internal Department of Immigration data showing that 4.9 million visas are set to expire in the next calendar year.

“How will we know how many of those wind up leaving?” asked Kmiec.

Miller said that any of the 4.9 million visa-holders who don’t obtain a renewal will be “expected to leave.” “When people come here, in many of their visa documents, they undertake to leave,” said Miller. “The vast majority leave voluntarily, and that’s what’s expected.”

Kmiec pressed the immigration minister on how his department would handle migrants who don’t leave voluntarily. To this, Miller said that the Canada Border Services Agency has the right to “remove people,” but he again stressed that “in the vast majority of cases, those people that have come here temporarily and do not have the right to stay, in fact leave.”
