Persecution my ass. Why do you think they came to Canada in the first place? In case people hadn't noticed all criminals will claim they're being persecuted against and just because they don't want to reap the rewards of the misdeeds committed in their home countries shouldn't be our issue.
Given that we deported more than 12,000 offenders in 2010 alone and it's still on the radar it's got to be a serious issue.
$1:
The CBSA investigates immigration violations and removes persons who do not have a right to enter or stay in Canada. The ability to remove people is vital to the integrity of the immigration system, and to those who come to this country lawfully.
More than 12,000 immigration offenders were deported from Canada in 2010. Those who are classified as serious or dangerous are escorted by removals officers
All individuals have the right to due process (the various levels of appeal and judicial review) before a removal order becomes effective or can be enforced. However, once individuals have exhausted all avenues available to them, they are expected to obey Canadian law.

How about a little more research even if it increases wait time. Then if you don't find anything have them sign a waiver that states, if you're convicted of committing a crime in Canada it's: picked up, packaged, returned to sender by express post. No more time in our jails, no appeals about why we should let you stay, no going underground, no more amnesties because grandma is ill and no more using less than reputable immigration lawyers to keep you here forever.
It's Bye Bye you turd, the possibility of persecution or not.
