Gunapoosany Kandasamy: Kandasamy

A Canadian Border Services Agency Officer Dept: Gunapoosany Kandasamy, a Sri Lankan Tamil, boarded a flight to her old home at about 10 p.m., accompanied by another deportee, a Canadian Border Services Agency officer and a nurse who will accompany her for the flight, according to CBC. Kandasamy, a widow, has a hard time walking on her own. Her daughter in Toronto is scrambling to make arrangements so someone will collect her mother once she lands and a 70-year-old Toronto grandmother was deported on Thursday, despite having no family members remaining in her native Sri Lanka. Her Canadian daughter and granddaughter say they were given bad advice: rather than sponsoring her, they filed a refugee claim, which was rejected. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
