Canadian Immigration: Kolar

Permanent Residency Dept: In what could be a precedent-setting case, the workers no longer face being sent to jail or deported, according to CBC. " The ruling is empowering for workers," said Cathy Kolar, an immigration specialist who represented the workers at a hearing of the Canadian Immigration Board, which decided in their favour. "It's empowering for future victims, because this sets a precedent that Canada is not going to dispose of you." Immigration specialist Cathy Kolar represented the Thai workers at the Canadian Immigration Board hearing and nineteen 19 Thai farm workers who were victims of human trafficking are being allowed to stay in Canada another two years so they'll have time to apply for permanent residency. The workers paid recruiters in Thailand up to $10,000 each to bring them to Canada to work for employers who in some cases were abusive. As reported in the news.
