Immigration Officials: Resident Permit

Conrad Black Dept: Immigration officials have granted Black a temporary, one-year resident permit, giving him access to Canada after his release from a low-security facility near Miami, a source confirmed Tuesday, according to The Star. The former head of the Hollinger International media empire has spent more than three years in U.S. prisons after being convicted of fraud and obstruction of justice in 2007 and oTTAWA Conrad Black will be allowed back in Canada after he steps out of a U.S. prison on Friday but it could take years if the convicted criminal wants to regain the Canadian citizenship he famously renounced. To get the permit, which is good until May 2013, Black would have been deemed a low-risk to reoffend and not a risk to Canadian society. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
