Quote:

"Their [the two would-be immigrants'] unrelated applications were lodged separately more than two years ago, [Well Trend's vice-president, Victor] Lum said, but the so-called “procedural fairness” letters arrived within days of each other, on March 18 and March 21.

Lum "said he believed the immigration applications were lodged without Huawei's knowledge. * * * He said Well Trend had successfully handled dozens of visa applications by Huawei staff in recent years. * * * Scott Bradley, Huawei's vice-president of corporate and government affairs in Canada, said he was unaware of the two cases, and had “no idea” of the identity of the employees.

As for telecommunication markets, Huawei has been kept away from US and Australia, but deeply embedded in Canada. "Last month, Huawei was given the all-clear in Britain by a board which concluded it posed no national security risk.
