TORONTO - The Ontario-based security contractor who has worked for Moammar Gadhafi's son says he'll soon face immigration officials to convince them he should stay in Canada.
But Gary Peters insists he's done nothing wrong.
The Australian-born Peters says he's been told he'll have to go before the Canada Border Services Agency on Feb. 28 to see if he's still admissible.
He hasn't been told why, he says, other than it has to do with "recent events."
Peters worked as a bodyguard for al-Saadi Gadhafi and helped get him out of Libya and into Niger amid the Libyan uprising.
He says he still works with al-Saadi "when he calls," but insists none of his activities were illegal.
Gadhafi has been under house arrest in Niger, but Libya demanded last week that he be handed over after he warned in a television interview that his homeland was facing a new uprising.
A former associate of his, Canadian Cynthia Vanier, is facing charges in Mexico for allegedly trying to smuggle Gadhafi into that country.
Peters -- who is not facing charges -- was questioned by CSIS, the RCMP and Mexican prosecutors after returning from Libya in September.
"I've never ever, ever broken the law, I'm just doing my job," said Peters, a permanent resident who has lived in Canada for 10 years. He runs Can/Aust Security and Investigations International Inc. out of Cambridge, Ont.
Peters called immigration officials to ask whether he was "in trouble."
"They said, 'No... but due to recent events we just want to ask you a few questions to see if you're still admissible to stay in Canada'," he said.
"I think it's a bit unfair, but anyway, that's only my view."
CBSA officials were not immediately available for comment.
Vanier, from Mount Forest, Ont., as well as two Mexicans and a Danish suspect were charged earlier this month with attempted human trafficking, falsifying documents and organized crime in connection to the alleged plot.
Peters said he doesn't know how Vanier got wrapped up in that sweep.
He had worked with her providing security when she travelled to the northern Ontario reserve of Attawapiskat as part of her job as a mediator working with First Nations.
He also protected her during a fact-finding mission in Libya with Canadian firm SNC Lavalin, which had construction projects in the country.
The two parted ways in September and he only heard later she'd been arrested.
Vanier's parents have denied all the charges against her and have said she was in Mexico negotiating plans for a water-treatment project.
Peters also said he didn't think he was the fifth suspect Mexican authorities have said they are seeking.
