Immigration Officials: Justice Richard Goepel

Justice Richard Goepel: Franco Orr has been a productive member of society with no criminal record but he must spend time behind bars in order to deter others who would violate Canada's immigration laws, Justice Richard Goepel told the 50-year-old businessman before he was handcuffed and led out of the courtroom by a sheriff, according to CTV. Orr was convicted in June on three counts under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act: human trafficking, employing a foreign national and misrepresenting facts to immigration officials and VANCOUVER -- A British Columbia man who lied to immigration officials in order to bring the family nanny to Canada from Hong Kong, luring her with empty promises so she would care for his three children, should spend 18 months in prison, a B.C. Supreme Court judge said Tuesday. "Individuals cannot be allowed to disregard the immigration laws of this country with impunity," Goepel said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
