George Gonsalves-Barriero: Citizenship And Immigration Officer

Gonsalves-Barriero Dept: It was a gift that I was given, and I misused it, George Gonsalves-Barriero told reporters outside the courtroom, according to CTV. Gonsalves-Barriero worked exclusively with immigrants who were trying to come to Canada on humanitarian and compassionate grounds and a Citizenship and Immigration officer who admitted to taking money from newcomers in exchange for false promises of permanent residency in Canada apologized in a Toronto court Tuesday. The apology comes after Gonsalves-Barriero admitted to phoning potential immigrants whose cases he was working on and arranging meetings in secret locations to exchange money in return for a promise of permanent residency.
