The truck driver who caused the Humboldt Broncos bus crash will have to wait until the new year to find out if he’ll be deported to India once he serves his sentence.
The deadline for the Canada Border Services Agency to write its report has been extended from Nov. 28 to the end of December.
Jaskirat Singh Sidhu’s lawyer is also getting an opportunity to update his 415-page submission for Sidhu to stay in Canada.
Some of the Broncos families have supported Sidhu’s bid to stay in country, while others say he should be deported.
Sidhu was sentenced to eight years in prison after pleading guilty to dangerous driving causing death and bodily harm in the April 2018 collision that killed 16 people and injured 13.
The SJHL’s Broncos were en route to an SJHL playoff game in Nipawin when their bus collided with a semi driven by Sidhu, who had gone through a stop sign at the intersection of two highways near Tisdale.
Sidhu has not sought parole and was moved to minimum security at the end of August.
