Guidy Mamann, a prominent Toronto-based immigration lawyer with over 30 years of expertise in immigration law, has acted in numerous high-profile and celebrated cases which have attracted local, national, and international attention and is frequently consulted as an expert by journalists, government, and non-governmental organizations on matters pertaining to immigration law and policy.
Mamann, who has conducted a dozen interviews on TV and radio over the past few weeks about the 25,000 Syrian refugees who are in the process of being airlifted to Canada, doesn’t think that such a large number of refugees can be screened effectively in a few short weeks.
While he doesn’t believe that a refugee with a criminal record is likely to be planted by ISIS or another terrorist organization to come to Canada to commit attack on Canada’s soil, he is of the opinion that Canadians should worry about refugees with no prior criminal conviction and no electronic footprint, such as the 9/11 hijackers who had no criminal records and were in the US legally. “How do you screen for that? You can’t” he says.
