Face Deportation: Proper Paperwork

New Immigrants Dept: Francis Dura and Renaldo Verdeflor made the decision after federal Immigration Minister Jason Kenney denied their final appeals to stay in Canada, said the Yukon Federation of Labour, which has been lobbying on the men's behalf, according to CBC. "In his words, new immigrants to Canada are supposed to be fully versed in sort of the do's and don'ts, and abide fully by the Immigration Act." Two Filipino men caught working in Yukon without proper paperwork are agreeing to leave Canada voluntarily, rather than face deportation. "When you look at the Immigration Act it certainly doesn't favour, in my opinion, any new immigrants. There was a technical breach of the act and we did hear back from the federal minister who refuses to intervene in the case," labour federation president Alex Furlong told News on Tuesday. As reported in the news.
