This should fucking not happen here. A lot of folks held their noses and voted Liberal so that this would not happen here. The Minister better fucking intervene.

When you apply for a work permit and say you're working in a specific field, but then moonlight as a musician on the side for money but don't tell IRCC that, they do have a point about misrepresentation (unfortunately).

CBC's article doesn't really explain what his music career was or if he was making money from it, or if it was just for fun and not for pay - but that's a critical piece of information - seemingly left out - they talk about his job at BC Children's that he did notify IRCC about - which was never the issue by the sounds of it - sounds like they suspected him of having a music career on the side.

The logistics issues and failures of notifying him are unacceptable however, as is arresting and holding him like a petty criminal is unacceptable considering he complied the entire time.

It certainly seems overly cruel and heavy handed considering the infraction.
