Azurin seeks apology fr Cdn embassy
By Nidz Godino
"I just don't know if they will issue an official statement of apology to me, and perhaps formal letter will be much appreciated," Retired Philippine National Police chief Rodolfo Azurin Jr. said, noting letter could acknowledge mistake was committed by Canada Immigration in Vancouver.
Azurin is asking Canadian embassy for formal letter of apology in response to recent issues he encountered with immigration officers during his visit to Canada.
In an interview with media, Azurin said although Department of Foreign Affairs had conveyed embassy's apology, he had not received any formal written acknowledgment of incident.
Azurin was compelled to shorten his personal trip to Canada after he was intercepted and subjected to questioning by immigration authorities upon his arrival.
"As far as I know, my visitor's visa was not canceled by Canada Immigration," Azurin said.
He explained there is an ongoing validation to determine if he can be admitted or if he can be allowed to enter Canada as tourist to visit his family.
Despite incident, Canadian government has not yet submitted comprehensive and official report on incident.
It was reported, sometime last week, Azurin was held by Canadian Immigration upon arrival at Langley Airport in British Columbia, allegedly over drug war of former president Rodrigo Duterte.
Azurin reportedly opted to take flight back to Philippines rather than be further questioned by immigration authorities.
