Since October 2000, Major GK Nair (Retd) has been serving as the President and CEO of Microprotech Industries Incorporated, Vancouver , British Columbia Canada . Microprotech Industries Incorporated is a Process Control Instrumentation and Environment Protection Marketing company .In April 2001 Major Nair happened to read an article on the Komagata Maru incident. “On 23 May 1914 , when 376 Indians arrived in Vancouver harbour on board the Komagata Maru, Immigration authorities prevented the passengers from disembarking on a variety of pretexts. For weeks the vessel lay in harbour, its human cargo deprived of food and water by Canadian authorities with a view to weaken their determination. The passengers were threatened with the use of force. The case in the courts resulted in the legal defeat of the immigrants.  

With the local citizenry cheering from the docks, Canada 's HMCS Rainbow escorted the Komagata Maru to international waters on July 23, 1914 . On reaching Calcutta , the ship was detained at the town of Budge Budge on the Hooghly River on September 29. The police rounded up about 250 passengers. Twenty people were killed. Twenty-seven escaped”. This Canadian History made Major Nair realize how fortunate he was to reap the rewards of those people who gave their yesterday for our today and nourished the idea of helping the immigration seekers to Canada . The following day, he registered Destine Canada Immigration Consultancy services in Vancouver British Columbia under the full ownership of Microprotech Industries Incorporated and appointed Gopalakrishnan Sulochana Sreelatha Nair as its first Director. In 2004, consequent to the formation of Canadian Society of Immigration Consultants (CSIC), Gopalakrishnan Sulochana Sreelatha Nair was given the task of taking the membership in the CSIC so as to represent the clients as per the regulations.

The reason is nothing but ignorance of rules and operating procedures of Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC).
