Raed Jaser: Toronto

Jaser Dept: Immigration documents show federal authorities wanted to deport Raed Jaser in 2004 -- something that proved difficult because he was a stateless Palestinian, according to CTV. Jaser came to Canada with his parents and two brothers in March 1993, flying into Toronto's Pearson Airport from Germany, where the family says it faced persecution and OTTAWA -- Fraud-related convictions almost led to the deportation of one of the men charged in an alleged plot to attack a Via Rail passenger train. Jaser, 35, of Toronto, and Chiheb Esseghaier, 30, of Montreal, face criminal charges in what the RCMP says was a terrorist plot guided by al-Qaida in Iran. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
