Lorne Waldman and Oscar Vigil

Oscar Vigil: I think its very helpful, said Lorne Waldman, a Toronto immigration lawyer representing Oscar Vigil , the former executive director of the Canadian Hispanic Congress. Vigil has been declared inadmissible to Canada over his ties to the leftist Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front that now governs El Salvador, according to The Star. Mosley aimed some harsh language at Karine Roy-Tremblay, a senior bureaucrat in the Immigration Ministry, who in March 2013 denied an application by Jose Luis Figueroa of Vancouver to be allowed to remain in Canada on compassionate grounds and A recent Federal Court ruling spells potential good news for two men who face deportation from Canada as terrorists because they once supported a rebel organization that is now the democratically elected government of their former land. Waldman was referring to a ruling handed down this month by Federal Court Justice Richard G. Mosley, ordering the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration to take a second look at a case involving another Salvadoran man who has also been deemed inadmissible to Canada, for reasons very similar to those affecting Vigil.
