Kabaddi: Immigration Canada

Immigration Dept: With another season set to begin, kabaddi is making a splash for a very different reason allegations of human smuggling involving players, according to The Star. Immigration has already pulled the plug on a special visa process, initiated last year, that enabled players to fast-track through the system and every summer, kabaddi makes an impact on the playing fields in Greater Toronto as thousands of South Asians descend to watch players compete in this ancient Indian sport. Immigration Canada officials say that of the 670 visas issued in 2011 to players from India, 91 have not returned home, while 27 have filed refugee claims. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
