See report from the CBC below. The government is always behind the curve on this. As long as the problem is not dealt with by denying benefits to those who use smugglers, nothing will improve. As matters stand now, the reward is disproportionally high compared to the risk. The worst that happens to bogus claimants is deportation after several years of hearings, reviews, etc; the best case scenario is gaining residency. Only a fraction of claimants are ever deported.
