Sebastian Decaens: Human Smuggling

www.immigrantscanada.comAtlantic Region Immigration Dept: RCMP Const. Sebastian Decaens, with the Atlantic Region Immigration and Passports section, said a lot of smuggling begins in the Maritimes, according to CBC. Immigration lawyer Lee Cohen said the federal government is proposing new legislation around human smuggling and trafficking, but said access to refugee status is a better solution than tougher sentencing and human smuggling is not just an international issue but also a local one, a conference in Moncton was told on Wednesday. "When they start luring or grooming the victims it happens in the Maritimes," Decaens said. "And later on they get either to Montreal, Toronto but the source is still here."
