CBSA spent nearly $2 million deporting foreign nationals with private jets
The CBSA maintains that private jets are only used in “exceptional circumstances,” and that commercial flights are the primary means of transportation.
The Canada Border Services Agency has spent nearly $2 million chartering private luxury jets to deport foreign nationals to their home countries, according to internal documents.
One flight to deport three individuals in 2022 cost taxpayers $438,000 for a Dassault Falcon 900EX private jet in a single trip, while later that same year, the CBSA chartered a Bombardier Global 5000 luxury jet to remove two other foreign nationals, costing another $130,432.
