An alleged Russian spy who was ordered deported from Canada more than a week ago is still in the country.

Federal Court Justice Pierre Blais ordered the deportation of the man known as Paul William Hampel last Monday after he admitted to being a Russian national.

A spokesman for the Canada Border Services Agency says the process is under way.

But Derek Mellon would not give a time frame for the man’s deportation, saying “each case is different.”

The man was arrested Nov. 14 at Montreal’s Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport.

Canada’s federal spy agency alleged in court documents that the man is a member of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), the successor of the feared Soviet KGB.

He was carrying a fraudulent Ontario birth certificate, a Canadian passport and the equivalent of $7,800 in five different currencies when he was arrested.
