Work Visa: Clerical Error

New Brunswick Dept: Jeff Curley, who has lived in Saint John since 2004, was deported last week after going to the Canada Border Services office at the St. Stephen-Calais border to have an error fixed on his work permit, according to CBC. A border official in St. Stephen, N.B., mistakenly entered Jan. 20 as both the issue date and expiry date for the permit and an American man and his family are back in New Brunswick after a tense few days spent at the Canada-U.S. border. Curley, who is married to a Canadian, with whom he has a 12-week-old baby and two teenaged stepsons, said the clerical error was made when he renewed his annual work visa in January. As reported in the news.
