Once she's here he can light her on fire too, Stupid that a convicted killer was allowed into our country to begin with.

It's time for the Immigration and Refugee Board to make modifications to their definitions of relatives, or why a convicted murderer can sponsor anybody...period

Brar successfully appealed the decision citing that an offence involving a "sister-in-law" is different than an offence involving a "relative" as defined by the board

Sounds like he was a Canadian before he was charged or convicted for murdering anybody. So we have to let him back in.

This loophole definatly needs to be fixed. Like Hyack says, why is a murderer allowed to sponser
