Asif Khan Khalil: Khalil

Immigration Officials Dept: Asif Khan Khalil, 20, currently lives in Winnipeg but was scheduled to be sent back to his native country on Sunday unless his lawyer could get an emergency reprieve, according to CBC. Khalil is required to check back with Citizen and Immigration officials every two weeks, and there is still a chance he could be deported at any time and a champion squash player who fled to Canada to escape the Taliban in Pakistan is relieved to learn he won't be deported this weekend as scheduled. Khalil received that emergency reprieve on Friday, at a meeting with Citizen and Immigration Canada officials that morning. No reason was given for the reprieve. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
