Immigration: Montreal Metro

Native Chile Dept: Victor Morales's lawyer argued yesterday at the Federal Courthouse in Old Montreal that his client has been clean for seven years, has two teenage boys and an ailing mother to care for, and, after spending the majority of his life in Quebec, sending him to Chile, where he has no family, would be an unjust hardship to him and his family, according to Montreal Gazette. Citizenship and Immigration Canada has ordered the deportation of Morales, a permanent resident but not a citizen of Canada, because he had several criminal infractions between 1998 and 2004 and a Montreal metro musician who emigrated to Canada 32 years ago at age 7 is fighting deportation to his native Chile over crimes he committed more than half a decade ago, saying he has reformed and expelling him to a country he doesn't know constitutes excessive punishment. "I came here when I was very young, and I don't agree that it's a good decision to deport me because my life is here in Canada," Morales said. As reported in the news.
