Immigration And Refugee Protection Act: Immigration And Refugee

Refugee Claim Dept: A federal government lawyer was prepared to present evidence that the man should be declared inadmissible to Canada on security grounds that could include terrorism or war crimes, according to CTV. Ottawa has yet to say what the specific allegations are, but government lawyers have cited two sections of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act in their case against him and the man, who was among nearly 500 Tamils who arrived off the British Columbia on the MV Sun Sea in August, appeared before the Immigration and Refugee Board in a makeshift hearing room at a provincial jail in Maple Ridge, B.C. If the allegations are accepted by the board, it would put a stop to his refugee claim and likely lead to a deportation order but the hearing was rescheduled to give his lawyer more time to comb through what she described as a mountain of documents. As reported in the news.
