这一条报告了加拿大如何对待因实际犯罪或被指控犯罪而被视为“不受欢迎”但又不能被驱逐出加拿大领土的移民。它为这些人确定了五种可能的结果：有资格获得永久居留权;在障碍消除之前获得暂时居留权;在仍处于有效驱逐令之下时获得临时地位;处于法律的边缘;或受到可疑驱逐。每一种结果所产生的具体权利和限制差别很大，但特定案件的结果似乎并不反映将不能驱逐的罪犯作为一个阶层加以考虑和对待的深思熟虑的政策选择。这种任意性由于以下事实而加剧：大多数驱逐障碍不是加拿大任何决策程序的具体问题：一系列顺序表被用来表明，大多数驱逐障碍只在高度自由裁量的情况下才相关，在这种情况下，这些障碍可能被认为无关紧要或给予最低限度的重视。总的结论是，虽然处于这种情况的个人面临着巨大的困难，但加拿大没有关于他们的临时或长期待遇的连贯或深思熟虑的政策。
This article reports on Canada’s treatment of migrants who are deemed “undesirable” for reasons of actual or alleged criminality, but who cannot be removed from Canadian territory. It identifies five potential outcomes for these individuals: eligible for permanent residence; granted temporary stay of removal until impediment removed; granted temporary status while still under active removal order; placed in legal limbo; or subjected to suspect deportation. The specific rights and restrictions that flow from each of these outcomes vary significantly, but the result in a given case does not appear to reflect deliberate policy choices that consider and treat criminal-unremovable persons as a class. This arbitrariness is exacerbated by the fact that the majority of impediments to removal are not the specific subject of any decision-making process in Canada: a series of sequential tables are used to demonstrate that most impediments to removal are relevant only in highly discretionary contexts where they may be deemed insignificant or given minimal weight. The overall conclusion is that although individuals in this situation face significant hardship, Canada does not have a coherent or deliberate policy regarding their interim or long-term treatment.
