"Stewart, 50, is one of Canada’s infamous deportees — permanent residents who were stripped of their status and forced to leave because they committed a crime."
"A former permanent resident, he was deported in 2009 back to his native Jamaica — a place he hadn’t lived since he was a child — because he had been convicted of fraud in both the U.S. and Canada. "
Another Thank-A-Con moment for destroying lives for political gain.
Former Argo ‘ecstatic’ to learn he can return to Canada for cancer treatment
Football player Andrew Stewart is heading home to Surrey, B.C., to be reunited with his wife and children and get life-saving treatment for cancer.
Former Toronto Argonaut Andrew Stewart is coming home.
An elated Stewart received his permanent residency and the right to return to Canada Thursday after a Toronto Star story detailed how the ailing athlete, who is battling cancer, had been waiting for more than three years for approval of his wife’s spousal sponsorship application.
“I’m over the moon happy,” said Stewart’s wife, Sharon, from her home in Surrey, B.C. “I can’t believe it. It has been so long. It seems unreal. I won’t believe it until he walks off the plane.”
On Sunday, Stewart will be boarding a plane in Kingston, Jamaica, and heading back to British Columbia where he hopes to quickly begin his life-saving cancer treatment. In his hand will be a letter confirming his newly minted permanent resident status.
