On Saturday, Judge Alan Diner approved a request to postpone deportations scheduled for Monday morning until a judicial review of the border service officer’s decision not to delay deportations is complete.
The judge noted that his decision confirmed the requested delay in the review process, but he added that the question of a reasonable assessment of the risks associated with moving agents to India remains to be answered.
Arriving in Canada to continue his studies 5 years ago, Karamjeet Kaur is now facing deportation after the authorities realized that a forged entry confirmation was attached to his visa application without you not knowing.
While authorities acknowledged the student was not aware the letter was forged, they said it was his duty to confirm his acceptance into a Canadian educational institution.
A dangerous dismissal, according to his lawyer
On Friday, Ms Kaur’s attorney, Stewart Istvanffy, argued that her client should obtain permission to reside in Canada until his humanitarian residency application is processed.
According to him, deportation to India could put his client’s life in danger because of the charges against the Indian immigration officer who forged the letter.
This person is still at large and already threatening [Karamjeet Kaur] throwing acid in his face, in addition to threatening his family
said the lawyer.
He added that his client was also in danger because photos of him taking part in demonstrations organized by the separatist movement circulated.
For its part, The Crown argues that too much time has passed between the discovery of the forged papers and the application for a humanitarian residence permit and calls into question the credibility of Ms. Kaur.
