Did you see any reason why this illegal should not be deported Mexican teen could be deported Saturday?
An 18-year-old Mexican refugee claimant who contends he faces death in his homeland will be deported Saturday if the government does not grant him temporary residency.
On Friday, a Federal Court judge in Toronto dismissed Daniel Garcia’s application for a temporary stay of his deportation order. Outside of the Federal Court of Appeal, the teen’s supporters held a rally that called on the Citizenship and Immigration Department to keep Mr. Garcia in Canada.
“The application today was just denied. There is an application for a temporary residence permit to (Immigration Minister) Jason Kenney’s office, but we haven’t heard anything back from him,” said Mohan Mishra, an immigration caseworker with No One Is Illegal in Toronto.
“Despite community support from his friends, classmates, teachers, school trustees and church communities, we still see that Minister Kenney is burying his head in the sand,” Mr. Mishra said.
A flight has been scheduled for Mr. Garcia, although the time has not been released.
The Grade 11 student arrived in Canada as a minor in 2007 under the guardianship of his elder sister Brenda. The two had applied for refugee status, arguing that they faced persecution and possibly death in Mexico because Brenda is gay. They said they had already experienced discrimination and homophobic violence there.
Her application was denied and she was deported last Monday.
The younger Garcia has stayed in a Canada Border Services detention centre since Dec. 23.
According to the court decision, Mr. Garcia failed to report a change of his address when he moved in October 2010, and he failed to appear at an immigration hearing in November, which lead to a warrant for his arrest.
“The applicant’s behaviour shows complete disregard for Canada’s immigration laws,” the judge wrote in a court decision, noting Garcia didn’t apply “with clean hands.”

If you’re being deported from Canada, do you have to buy your own plane ticket?
My ex-bf just texted me saying that he is leaving the country in a few weeks (his Visa expired) and he said that he’s going back to work so he can make money to buy a plane ticket. Just out of curiosity…..doesnt Immigration Canada/Border Services provide you with a ticket since they want you to leave? Or does the person actually have to buy it themselves?
Let me explain: his visa expired 3 years ago, he’s been living illegally in Canada for 3 years. He’s been working under the table at a restaurant since. His actual hearing happened last year (sept 2008) thats when they found out about him and thats when he knew he was being deported. So they’ve actually been working on his case for a year and 2 months now. He just received a letter last week saying they made a decision when he was to leave. My question is just about the plane ticket…he says he has to buy a ticket, Im just wondering if thats true, since I would assume the Border Services of Canada provide that.
