Lehmber Singh, 30, who was to take his flight back to India on the evening of November 5, went missing that morning. He has not been heard of since then.
According to police, Lehmber Singh had come from India to perform music. He had about $100 (rpt $100) with him when he went missing from Mississauga on the outskirts of Toronto.
In a statement, police said: "On November 5, 2015, Lehmber Singh was last seen by a family relative at approximately 10.30 a.m., in the area of Derry Road East and Edwards Boulevard in the City of Mississauga."
Singh has been described by the Peel Regional Police in a public notice - issued yesterday with his photograph - as a 5’5” tall South Asian man with a beard and moustache, weighing 140 pounds and shoulder-length wavy black hair, slim built and brown eyes.
He was last seen wearing blue jeans, full length black trench coat.
Singh only speaks Punjabi and his English is limited. He also may have a black carry-on bag in his possession.
He also had some 100 dollars in his possession and an international cell phone.
It is easier to get a Canadian visa if you are a singer, musician or a preacher and are sponsored by any Indian Canadian organisation, temple or gurdwara. But once these people are in Canada, many simply disappear as they don't want to return to India.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Lehmber Singh is asked to call investigators at the 12 Division Criminal Investigation Bureau at (905) 453–2121, ext. 1233. Information may also be left anonymously by calling Peel Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), or by visiting www.peelcrimestoppers.ca, or by sending a text message to CRIMES (274637) with the word “PEEL” and then your tip.
