Four foreign nationals are being booted out of the country for running what the Canada Border Services Agency describes as a "driveway paving scam" in Ottawa. Ottawa police issued a warning on Sept. 20 about complaints of contractors who promised inexpensive paving work but charged a much higher price when the work was done — and pressured homeowners to pay. Four men were arrested in the case on Sept. 24, and $70,000 in cash was seized, the CBSA said. The men, who were working without permits, were charged under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, the CBSA said. CBSA spokesman Chris Kealey said the men were all from the same country but did not say which one.
