Yang Gao: Cheng was later deported from Canada, ruled inadmissible because of his criminal past abroad, according to Hamilton Spectator. Two years later, the Toronto couple have found themselves owing $40,000 to Ottawa — the result of what their lawyer describes as "a lack of procedural fairness in forfeiture" by Canada Border Services Agency . Yang and Gao dilemma offers a cautionary tale to others asked to bail out someone being held on immigration law violations. "We took this person in and made sure he would not run away, and he never did," said Yang, who works as a waiter to support his wife and their two boys, 10 and 8. "We do not regret helping him out of jail, but we have lost our faith in the system." The border agency receives millions of dollars each year in cash bond deposits from Canadians who bail out immigration detainees, including failed refugee claimants, undocumented migrants and visitors deemed inadmissible to Canada on criminal and security grounds. On July 22, 2011, Yang, 40, and his wife, Yue Yun Gao, 39, went to the immigration holding centre on Airport Rd. and posted a $40,000 bond to secure the release of Wa Cheng, a man from Changle in Fujian Province. CBSA was not able to provide a breakdown by nationality or the total number of detainees released on bail, but said more than $5.6 million in cash bonds was deposited in 2014 alone, up from $5 million the year before. That money ends up in government revenues. Last year, 188 bonds, amounting to $578,000, were forfeited because of breaches of the bail conditions, down somewhat from 2013, when there were 304 forfeitures totaling more than $1.8 million.
