Canada Border Services Agency: An admissibility hearing was held Wednesday in Vancouver for Gurmej Singh Gill. Mr. Gill, 71, had permanent residency in Canada in the early 1980s and returned to this country for a visit in November. The Canada Border Services Agency referred his file to the Immigration and Refugee Board and said Mr. Gill should be deemed inadmissible for being a member of an organization that engaged in terrorism. The organization, the Babbar Khalsa, has been linked to the Air India bombings that killed 331 people in June, 1985. More Related to this Story, according to Globe and Mail.
