"Acres of land" For Canadian Visa

In Accra, Ghana, an immigration official passed on an e-mail from a man desperate to get into Canada, who offered the official "acres of land" as an inducement. The employee responded that the bribe was "inappropriate, offensive and insulting."

This is just one of the incidents outlined in Citizenship and Immigration Canada documents on investigations into alleged improprieties by staff at Canadian foreign missions in 2002.
