An immigration lawyer is demanding a major overhaul of Canada’s immigration system after Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, the man responsible for the fatal Humboldt Broncos crash that killed 16 and injured 13, announced his bid to stay in the country, fighting deportation.
Sergio Karas, an immigration lawyer, told Juno News that anyone convicted of a crime who was sentenced to a custodial sentence of more than six months is considered deportable. However, some cases can take up to 10 years to process. He said there are several obvious ways Canada can reduce the backlog and streamline deportations.
