Residency Status: Years and Today Centres

residency status: Lawyers representing Brown, who was held in custody in maximum-security prisons for five years, are arguing that his constitutional rights were violated, according to CTV. Brown, now 40, moved to Canada when he was seven years old as a permanent resident. The case being argued today centres around Alvin Brown. After living in the country for a few decades, he lost his permanent residency status after several criminal convictions. It was horrible, I would have rather been dead than detained, not knowing when I would be released, Brown said in a press release on Monday. He spent five years in detention before he was separated from his family and deported to Jamaica last fall. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
