Jose Figueroa: I m still in the church, Jose Figueroa, 47, said Wednesday, speaking on a cellphone from the Walnut Grove Lutheran Church, his home for the past 13 months, as he resists being sent back to his native El Salvador as a supposed terrorist. They have not yet done a redetermination, according to The Star. The section extraordinarily broad language would have barred Nelson Mandela from entering or remaining in Canada, say immigration lawyers and A Salvadoran man who fears deportation remains holed up in a Vancouver church, more than four months after a Federal Court judge sharply instructed Canada immigration bureaucracy to revisit his case on humanitarian grounds. Figueroa is one of two Salvadoran men who have run afoul of section 34 1 f , a catch-all provision of Canada Immigrant and Refugee Protection Act that bars admission to this country to anyone who has ever supported an organization that has sought to subvert a government or that might try to do so in the future.
