This section of the article lays out why Canada’s legal system is being treated as a joke by these criminals-

“Gangs are also expert at exploiting the weaknesses in Canadian immigration policy. Many of their members are present in Canada illegally, often on expired student visas. Some were already known criminals in their home countries, who somehow escaped proper vetting on entry.

Last December, at least 14 suspects avoided deportation by claiming refugee status, buying themselves years of time in Canada, along with subsidised health care and social programmes, according to Vancouver immigration lawyer Richard Kurland. They now cannot be deported until the Refugee Protection Division rules on the merit of their claims – with a multi-year backlog of refugee cases to be processed ahead of them.”

Sounds like the "loophole" we need to address is our lack of funding courts and justice systems - a problem seen Canada wide. Seems like a very easy and popular way to solve the issue.
