Originally from Portugal, Castela who has a PhD in ethics and teaches at two Metro Vancouver colleges first applied for permanent residency in 2013, but was turned down because he didn't meet the required number of working hours. He says that because CIC failed to take into account any hours not physically spent in front of students teaching, such as prep time and marking. Citizenship and Immigration Canada is under fire for failing to tell permanent residency applicants that the program for which they were applying had met its cap several months ago and that their efforts to stay in Canada were essentially a waste of time.
