Community Services: Canadian Citizenship and Nova Scotia

community services: Abdi, who was not granted Canadian citizenship while growing up in foster care in Nova Scotia, was detained by the Canada Border Services Agency after serving five years in prison for multiple offences, including aggravated assault, according to CTV. A deportation hearing for the young man is scheduled to begin Wednesday in Toronto, after a Federal Court judge rejected a bid to delay the process, I think that it is really unfair of the government to deport my brother, all because the Department of Community Services failed both of us on getting our Canadian citizenship, said Fatuma Abdi. The group, which includes Abdoul Abdi's sister Fatuma Abdi, held a news conference Tuesday at the provincial legislature. They are not taking responsibility for it and that angers me on his behalf. We have done everything possible to assist, she told the legislature. When asked during question period whether the province would oppose Abdi's deportation, Community Services Minister Kelly Regan would only say the province had been in contact with federal officials.
