Mumtaz Ladha

Mumtaz Ladha: Mumtaz Ladha, 60, is on trial for human trafficking and other immigration-related offences over allegations she illegally brought the woman into the country in August 2008 and forced her to work long hours without pay at Ladha's home in West Vancouver home, according to CTV. To do this, the Crown contends Ladha repeatedly lied to immigration officials in African and Canada, first to obtain the woman's initial travel visa and then to obtain a visa extension five months after the woman's arrival and VANCOUVER -- The wealthy Vancouver-area woman accused of trafficking a young African single mother to Canada to be an unpaid housekeeper used "fraud, deception and coercion" to trick the woman and fool immigration officials, a Crown prosecutor said Friday. The Crown's theory has been that Ladha lured the young woman, whose name is covered by a publication ban, to leave her native Tanzania with a promise of a job at a Vancouver-area hair salon, which didn't actually exist.
