SUBBARAVU Posted August 9, 2015 Report Posted August 9, 2015 Deepan Budlakoti’s citizen status is a legal oddity. No one disputes that he was born in Ottawa, Canada. Nobody questions whether his parents, Indian nationals who themselves eventually became Canadian citizens, were legally in the country when he was born. Budlakoti even received a Canadian birth certificate and a passport. Yet, according to the Canadian government, he not only isn’t a citizen, but he should be deported to a country which likewise refuses to claim him as its own. Budlakoti’s immigration woes began with his own lamentable life choices. In 2010, the then-19-year-old was convicted for drug and weapons trafficking. At the end of his sentence, Budlakoti received some startling news: Canada’s border agency intended to have him deported to India. Its justification—the legal status of Budlakoti’s parents. According to Canadian law, citizenship is automatically granted to all children born in the country, except those whose parents were foreigners employed by a foreign government at the time of birth. Budlakoti’s parents had arrived in Canada as employees of India’s High Commission. Although Budlakoti maintains that they terminated their employment two months before he was born, the government argues otherwise. Accordingly, immigration officials classified him as a permanent resident and swiftly revoked that status. However, in attempting to remove Budlakoti from the country, the Canadian government encountered its own legal snag: India also refused to acknowledge him as a citizen. With no country willing to claim him, Budlakoti couldn’t leave. He also had no chance of gainful employment, education, or even receiving health care if he stayed. Budlakoti decided to fight for his citizenship in court but lost. The court even claimed that in spite of being rejected by both India and Canada, he is not stateless on account of never having applied for citizenship in either country. In the aftermath, Budlakoti has been forced to live off donations. He continues his fight in hopes of reaching the Supreme Court, a struggle made possible by attorneys who work either pro bono or at a generous discount. source: wikipedia and listverse.com
