Well don't we look like the a-holes...

In all seriousness, this happens each and every day. The only reason that this case received any media coverage is undoubtedly her family or friends reached out to the media in an effort to embarass the Canadian govt. into action. Immigration fraud is a legitimate problem that most western nations face each and every day. Is this scenario an indictment on the whole system? Certainly not. Furthermore, to draw a conclussion on an entire nation because of these actions is naive. Personal experiences aside, It's a bit of a strech to condemn a nation because of this.

The CDN gov't embarassed themselves, they simply let the world on it!

No, I think the agents who inspected her paperwork failed in their due dilligence, but I don't think their oversight is an embarassment on the entire country.

But they were backed by Ottawa, Ottawa told the officers that she was an imposter and revoked her passport.

Do you know what the governments policy is on situations like this? Do you know all the information that was forwarded to the government officials regarding this case? NO, so I think your condemnation is not only premature, but an overreatcion.
