Conrad Black will be returning to Canada upon his release from a Florida prison later this week, sources confirmed Tuesday.
The Montreal-born former press baron who has been serving time in a
Miami-based penitentiary on one count of fraud and obstruction of
justice, has secured a temporary resident permit from Canada’s
Citizenship and Immigration department allowing him to remain in the
country for up to a year.
“He was granted the permit,” confirmed a source familiar with events
who asked not to be named. However, no one in Lord Black’s camp will
confirm details of when he will return to Canada, or how.
Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney, asked about Lord
Black in Parliament, said it was a private matter about which he could
not comment. But he said he had given instructions that public servants
would decide on Lord Black’s application independently of any input from
him or his office.
