618 pages of the report were declassified. Canada and the USA hid Nazis after World War II?

In recent days, previously unpublished fragments of the report by historian Alti Rodal have come to light, shedding new light on Canada's post-war immigration policy.

Documents show that in the post-war years, under pressure from the United States, Canada accepted Nazi war criminals as legal immigrants. This information was revealed thanks to the activities of the Jewish organization Bnai Brith, which has been fighting for years to reveal the truth about the presence of war criminals on Canadian soil.

The report "Nazi war criminals in Canada. Historical and political context from the 1940s to the present" consists of 618 pages and was almost entirely declassified by the court ruling of September 1, 2026. The document shows that the Canadian Federal Police (RCMP) suspected at least 35-40 people of using forged documents that were prepared in the United States.

According to historians, a secret US military program, later linked to the CIA, was behind the entire operation. This program was intended to resettle Nazi war criminals who, in exchange for avoiding responsibility, were to provide assistance during the Cold War.

In the 1950s, the RCMP rejected 52 immigration applications using U.S. documents, but the report said the U.S. was funneling "significant groups" of people through the Canadian immigration system.

The Alti Rodal report was commissioned by a special commission chaired by Judge Jules Deschenes, which had been investigating the presence of war criminals in Canada since 1985. The commission compiled a list of approximately 900 people who may have been Nazi war criminals and lived in Canada after the war. For years, the Canadian government refused to disclose classified parts of the report, citing state interest and international relations.

It was only in 2024 that part of the report was made available, and at the beginning of September 2026, the court ordered the document to be declassified almost in its entirety. The federal government did not appeal the decision, allowing the public to learn the shocking details.

One of the most controversial topics revealed in the report is the role of the United States in the entire operation. The documents show that it was the American services that put pressure on Canada to accept Nazi criminals as legal immigrants. The goal was to use their knowledge and experience in the context of growing Cold War tensions.

A secret CIA-linked resettlement program has enabled many war criminals to avoid prosecution and start a new life in Canada. In return, they were to support American intelligence and military activities.
