Department Of Citizenship And Immigration: Citizenship And Immigration

Track And Field Championships Dept: More than 1,400 athletes from 163 countries competed in 44 events during the weeklong event, which ended Sunday, according to CBC. Games officials say they knew defections were a possibility and were working with the federal Department of Citizenship and Immigration on what to do if someone approached staff or volunteers hoping to remain in the country and the IAAF World Junior Track and Field Championships have wrapped up in Moncton, N.B., and there are now suggestions that some participants are attempting to defect to Canada. It's not unusual for athletes, team officials and even foreign journalists to use sporting events like the world juniors to seek asylum. 'We don't validate if any information is true. We don't investigate. We just pass along any things we're hearing to authorities, which we did do this week.' Nancy McKay, chief operating officer As reported in the news.
