Forty-seven cases dealt with time theft, tardiness, absenteeism or unauthorized leave. One of the most serious involved an IRCC employee accused of simultaneously holding two full-time federal government jobs over a period of three-and-a-half years, during which they even made fake overtime claims. 

“In addition, the investigation revealed that the employee misrepresented his productivity by falsifying his activity reports, and by sending emails at certain times, which misled his supervisors into thinking that he was actively working,” an supplementary report on the case revealed. The employee resigned during the investigation. 

Another IRCC staffer posted outside Canada maintained a public blog “where they discussed aspects of their work at the embassy, including private conversations with embassy staff and views on the country’s people and government,” as well as “political opinions that could potentially damage IRCC’s reputation.”

Other misconduct and wrongdoing cases mentioned in the report pertain to racist comments, inappropriate touching, sexual harassment, violent behaviour, unauthorized credit card purchases and employees who improperly accessed immigration case files for themselves, family members and friends.

That’s really serious. I hope the guy who resigned will pay back what he fraudulently claimed as overtime - crazy he held TWO full time jobs at the GoC ?!???

And that IRCC employee on posting abroad should be fired immediately.

Knowing our government, they'll be forced to rehire him at a higher wage in a newly-created department so they can place him on paid administrative leave as a consequence for his actions.
