And yet, subsection 22(2) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, or IRPA, states that:
An intention by a foreign national to become a permanent resident does not preclude them from becoming a temporary resident if the officer is satisfied that they will leave Canada by the end of the period authorized for their stay.
Pursuant to the act, the intention must not harm. You are telling us that foreign students are important for the country, but they are still refused if they declare their intention to stay. I'm a bit confused.
Can you explain this to me?
