A senior representative from Canada’s Immigration Department has advised that the agency is, as a matter of policy, is flagging incoming traffic from Dominica, St Kitts & Nevis, Antigua & Barbuda, St Lucia and Grenada, all East Caribbean states with active Citizenship by Investment programs. Canada says it is unable to determine who is or is not a CBI passport holder. This action is due to the agency's concerns about the identities of CBI passport holders, who may have had a different name, place of birth, and/or date of birth entered into the passport than the correct information. Whether the passport photograph is of the holder, or has been swapped out from the photo originally attached in the East Caribbean are also concerns, based on what they have been seeing. According to www.wantedsa.com, the agency is also examining the names of relatives that the arrivals are purportedly visiting, and other visa data, to ensure that the holder of the passport is truly the individual listed therein. President of the Concerned Citizens Movement (CCM) Loftus Durand says he is disappointed in the lack of due diligence in the operations of the DLP’s CBI program, which has led to this recent decision by the Canadian government. Durand is also expressing concern over the areas of interest in which the DLP led government has marketed the country’s CBI program. Concerned Citizens Movement (CCM) President Loftus Durand
