Citizenship and Immigration Canada and Henry Burris

Henry Burris: Burris, 39, has lived in Canada for more than a decade, but has been unable to become a citizen because of red tape at Citizenship and Immigration Canada CIC which considers his job as a CFL quarterback part-time work since he plays six months per year, according to media reports, according to Metro News. Mr. Burris has shown a great commitment to Canada over many years, and his community work through his foundation is an example for Canadian youth and all Canadians, wrote spokesman Kevin Menard and Ottawa Redblacks quarterback Henry Burris is hoping to score a touchdown with Canadian immigration officials in his fight for Canadian citizenship. On Sunday, CIC acknowledged the player immigration troubles in an email statement to Metro, but declined to answer specific questions about his case citing privacy reasons.
