Legal Limbo: Immigration Minister

Jason Kenney Dept: Eight years later Ottawa still refuses to grant him permanent status, because he fought against his former country. The Toronto man has been left in a legal limbo, unable to become a full-fledged citizen, denied the right to travel abroad and worse, unable to sponsor his family to join him, according to The Star. The bill was unveiled last month by Immigration Minister Jason Kenney after 500 Tamil refugees came to Canada aboard the Sun Sea in August and ler Wah Lo Bo fought against the autocratic regime in Burma, fled the country and received asylum in Canada in 2002. Lo Bo s plight highlights what critics say will happen to many more legitimate refugees under the federal government s bill aimed at cracking down on human smuggling. As reported in the news.
