I want to hear from our Canadian immigration expert, Duk, on this matter. I think he said that nations need an orderly immigration process.

Yes, definitely I did say nations need an orderly immigration process.

I tried to find more information on the story above, but although I checked about a dozen sites, they all seemed identical, so basically carbon copies of the same story.

Based on what little data there is (basically the story cited above) it seems to me these people have basically lived in Canada under legal work visas, which require them to renew annually. Reading between the lines, it seems they were a little careless about the renewals. Read the father's statement:

Brent Figg, the father, noted that in the past, they were usually given a 90-day grace period to reapply after their work visa expired.

In other words, it wasn't the first time they had let their visa expire. Renewing the visa is not a difficult process, so it seems they were simply very careless about it. Reminds me of a friend of mine who made a habit of always paying his gas bill late, and was totally outraged when they finally shut off his gas. "They always let me pay late before!" People get lazy, people get complacent, people forget to pay their bills or renew various permits. Sometimes it's an expensive mistake.

Anyway, it's by no means certain that they will be deported. They were served a notice, which they can still appeal, and there's a good chance they will eventually be allowed to stay. Even if they are not, they were given time to wrap up their business in an orderly fashion before leaving. They were not:

• Abducted by masked agents with no explanation or warrant;
• dragged out of their house in the middle of the night;
• held incommunicado with their panicked families trying to find answers;
• dumped into a concentration camp in the middle of the Florida swamp; or
• into one of the most dangerous prisons in Central America.

None of those things happened to them, because as one would expect in a civilized country, they were treated with decency, given a legal notice which they will have a chance to appeal, and allowed to return home to make further arrangements.
