Camara may become permanent resident
Mamadi Camara may be offered permanent residency in Canada although it is not a done deal.
Update: It’s done! Camara is now a permanent resident.
Actually, no. As has been pointed out to me, while votes were taken in favour of Camara in both Ottawa and Quebec City on Tuesday, he is not yet official.

Good. This will allow him to stick around when he wins legal compensation from the SPVM, which may drag out for years.

After the reading the article it seems his application will be fast-tracked but strictly speaking, he is not yet a permanent resident. As his lawyer says: “C’est sûr qu’on est très heureux, mais la motion n’est pas encore une décision exécutive. On attend que le ministre de l’Immigration [Marco Mendicino] nous contacte pour régler les détails au niveau légal. Pour le moment, on parle encore d’intentions, de beaux gestes.”
