CSIS expresses concern over national security risks linked to foreign investment in Canada
Canadian Security Intelligence Service Director David Vigneault tabled CSIS’ 2019 annual report in Parliament on Wednesday. The report warned about the national security risks posed by some foreign investments in Canada, but without naming which foreign countries or foreign state-owned enterprises raised these particular concerns. For reasons of national security, all citizenship applications and refugee claims must first be screened by CSIS. In 2019, CSIS, through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, screened 217,400 citizenship applications and 41,000 refugee claims.
