Resettlement in a third country
is a dream of every refugee who can never return to his home country. But not
every refugee is destined to resettle. The example of a refugee is like a living
corpse that stumbles around in search of a soul. But there are some heartless
people in the world who take advantage of the problems of the refugees and cause
them great harm. EU and countries like Australia, New Zealand, Japan, USA and UK
have almost stopped resettling refugees from around the world because now these
countries cannot bear the burden of more refugees or they don't want to have a
soft corner for refugees because refugees have become a headache in many
countries due to which the resettlement of refugees is in danger. The number of
refugees is increasing day by day due to a host of reasons. If a refugee is
resettled, he is given resettlement along with his family but a single alone
refugee is not given importance for resettlement. This author has met few
refugees who have lost their mental balance or some how wish to die because they
see no future. Many see refugees as crows who live in garbage. Out of the
billions of dollars of funds received for the welfare of the refugees, the
majority of the refugees do not receive a single dollar. Human trafficking in
the name of refugees is on the rise. Canada's Group of Five (G5) private
sponsorship has been commercialized by several NGOs. In most of the 118
organizations of Sponsorship Agreement Holders (SAH) registered with Canadian
immigration from different cities across Canada have fooled the people and
refugees by throwing dust in the eyes of the Canadian government. Ninety percent
of SAH on the Canadian Immigration website are fake organizations whose email
addresses and telephone numbers do not respond. While many of these
organizations put the burden of sponsoring the Group of Five on another
organization and apologize that they cannot help resettle any refugee. An
investigation has revealed that refugees have to pay huge sums of money for
private sponsorship of the Group of Five (G5) in Canada because not every
refugee has friends or relatives in Canada. It has also come to light that some
churches, temples, Muslim organisations and Sikh Gurdwaras from around the world
also arrange for private sponsorship of the Group of Five by taking huge sums of
money from the refugees. Human traffickers in Canada who have gone through this
process are well aware of the business and it is still going on.The Canadian
government should investigate the five Canadian citizens or PR card holders
vouching for the Group of Five, or investigate the refugee to see if he is being
smuggled or he is involved in the resettlement of the G-5 and that he has not
used bribery. The Canadian immigration system is very transparent but some
notorious NGO's try to abuse the system. Few Canadian churches are also involved
in the same business. Taking huge sums of money from refugees and giving them
resettlement in the name of religion is a betrayal of religion and humanity. The
Canadian government should abolish this system and create a more accountable
system in which it distributes quotas of refugees only to UNHCR on merit to play
an important role in the resettlement of refugees. Because the resettlement by
UNHCR from all over the world is being done in a transparent manner; no question
of corruption arises. NGOs providing private sponsorship to refugees under the
guise of Groups of Five (G-5) have swindled millions of dollars. Now it should
be possible to end this corruption and the Canadian Immigration should register
the NGOs working in a genuine way in the Sponsorship Agreement Holders (SAH) and
inquire about the performance of all the already registered NGOs so that their
progress can be monitored and wrongdoing can be detected. Canada is a peaceful
and paradise-like country and there should be no place for evil-minded elements
in such a great country.
