>As for a thug like Nijjar: I have no idea how he swung it. It could be any of: mere oversight/incompetence amongst the civil service; small corruption in same; infiltration by Khalistanis of the same; or sympathetic elected officials. Remember that Canada processes 1000-2000 immigrants per DAY, and the idea that we are vetting every single one thoroughly is just silly.
Quid pro quo. Same way how USA hosts Gulen. A few greens (or in Canada's case, likely a number of votes) gets passed around under the table and the guy gets "recommended" for a visa. And letters of support for citizenship are often passed for favours. I was offered one by an MP in the UK, and it's perfectly legal. Granted, I'm also not committing illegal shit like blowing up planes over the Atlantic or sth.

TBH - of all of those, intervention by elected officials seems least likely. Our MPs are not especially hands-on. But who knows? Maybe some idiot really did write a letter of support on parliamentary letterhead in support of a gangster. I expect we'll find out. This scandal isn't going away over night.
