The Lebanese Diaspora and Revoked Citizenship

You know how many Lebanese like to “game the system” to obtain Canadian Nationalities? Those who actually live in Lebanon but travel to Canada every now and then only to prove they’re residents?

Apparently, the Canadian government is catching on to them and has decided to revoke their nationalities.

I would be tempted to say that this is a sad story about the lengths the Lebanese will go to leave Lebanon, but this isn’t the case. These people are staying and probably working in Lebanon. They got the Canadian and (insert name of 1st world country here) passports only as insurance policies and access to welfare and free high education for their kids.

The Canadians who are living in Canada (including immigrant Lebanese who played fair) have realized that this is fraud so they have decided to cut them off. Something tells me that those involved will now run to the Lebanese government to get compensation..
