Hungarians Lured Into Slavery In Canada

"Canadian police have issued arrest warrants for 10 members of a Roma family from Hungary who have enslaved 19 Hungarian men after luring them to Canada with the promise of a better life.
The new arrivals from Pápa, west Hungary, were then made to work on construction sites while they were fed scraps and received no money.
Canadian Immigration Minister Jason Kennedy earlier told a newspaper that 2,500 people had applied for asylum in Canada in 2009, but only three applications were accepted."
