About Us
Our background, education, skills and experience.
We are Selladurai and Nesamalar Premakumaran; two professionally skilled immigrants who started our immigration process in 1997 on the basis of highly favourable information provided by Canada’s High Commission in London. We were fully expecting to work in our respective fields once we had met Canadian professional standards. What we found instead was that our qualifications, experience and skills from abroad and within Canada, were worthless to Canadian employers.
Selladurai Premakumaran (Premm) was an accountant and lecturer in England and Nesamalar (Nesa) Premakumaran was an administrative officer with the British government. We came to Canada from England in 1998, believing that the information received from immigration officers at the Canadian High Commission in London was current and correct.
Once we realized that we were probably not going to be professionally employable in Canada even after obtaining Canadian equivalency and qualifications, we decided to sue the federal government. While three levels of courts have turned us down, we are determined to press on with the fight to make Canada’s immigration policy accountable.
During our battle we have found out that Citizenship and Immigration Canada tampered with our immigration file.
We have proof that bureaucrats inside Canada’s immigration department changed certain details of our original paperwork.
The government paperwork now shows that an uncle supposedly sponsored us, rather than showing that we came here under the professional skilled immigrant category.
Selladurai (Prem) Premakumaran’s occupation of “Accountant” was changed to “Bookeeper”, for some unknown reason.
Documents now show that the original port of entry was India, a country we’ve never lived in. Both of us immigrated from England.
We have now taken our fight outside Canada’s borders and filed our complaint with the United Nations in an effort to get justice that has been denied to us as residents of Canada.
