Zine El Abidine Ben Ali: Canadian Permanent Resident

Belhassen Trabelsi Dept: According to the IRB, the reason for the hearing is the appeal of an order revoking his status as a Canadian permanent resident, according to CTV. The billionaire fled here with his family after a revolution toppled his brother-in-law, former president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. He used his status to get across the border and the Immigration and Refugee Board says Belhassen Trabelsi is due before its appeal division in April to fight a decision to boot him out of the country. Trabelsi is thought to be quietly living in Montreal with his family since last year, when the Tunisian regime collapsed. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
