Semi driver who caused Humboldt Broncos bus crash loses refugee bid
Global News
A lawyer for the driver who caused the deadly Humboldt Broncos bus crash says the decision means the CBSA is now obligated to deport Jaskirat Singh Sidhu as soon as possible.
A lawyer for the truck driver who caused the deadly Humboldt Broncos bus crash says his client is one step closer to being deported to India.
Lawyer Michael Greene says Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has rejected a request for Jaskirat Singh Sidhu to stay in the country as a refugee.
Greene says that decision means the Canada Border Services Agency is now under a legal obligation to remove Sidhu from Canada as soon as possible.
He says he’s not sure when that might be but plans to ask for a deferral.
A previous application to restore Sidhu’s permanent resident status is still being decided.
That application argues Sidhu should be allowed to stay on humanitarian grounds because he has a child with complex medical issues with his heart and lungs.
Sidhu arrived in Canada from India in 2014 and was living in Calgary. His wife gave birth to their son after they moved here.
He was sentenced to eight years behind bars for dangerous driving offences in the Humboldt Broncos bus crash in Saskatchewan in April 2018.
