KGB spy expects deportation from Canada

The Vancouver Province writes that Lennikov, his wife Irina and
their 17-year-old son Dmitri, a student at Byrne Creek Secondary School
in Burnaby, are expecting to receive final removal instructions.

Canada does not normally grant permanent residency to former
high-ranking members of spy agencies such as the KGB, which was
replaced by Russia’s Federal Security Service, the FSB, after the
Soviet Union disintegrated, the paper marks. Lennikov said he didn’t
know that when he applied for permanent residency in 1998. During his
five years with the KGB, Lennikov, who left Russia in October 1995,
said he was mainly employed as a Japanese translator and was never
trained as a high-ranking official, even though he was promoted to the
rank of captain. He said it was never his desire to join the KGB and
was recruited out of university because of his proficiency in Japanese.
