Geoff Rempel: Lai Tong Sang

Lai Tong Sang: But Lai Tong Sang's wife and three children, who accompanied him to Canada in 1996, get to stay, according to CTV. Lai, who allegedly fled to Vancouver with his family to avoid a bloody turf war, first applied for permanent residence in February 1994. When that application was referred for enhanced criminal checks, he withdrew the application and VANCOUVER -- The Immigration and Refugee Board has issued a deportation order against an accused triad kingpin from Macau who may not even be in Canada, after concluding the man is part of the Shui Fong gang and is not admissible under this country's immigration laws. Board adjudicator Geoff Rempel's decision was released Tuesday, after a three-day admissibility hearing in March. Lai did not attend the admissibility hearing in person but called in from Macau.
