An Israeli woman has been ordered out of the country after being arrested in Edmonton last week and accused of working illegally during the Canadian Finals Rodeo.



Adi Gruenwald was arrested Nov. 10 by the Canada Border Services Agency while allegedly selling beauty products in a kiosk at the rodeo, says information provided by two federal government communications officials.



Gruenwald, who’s in her 20s, was apparently selling similar products at the Regina Exhibition Aug. 4 and fled when boarder services staff approached her, so they put out a warrant for her arrest.



The agency picked her up in Edmonton after getting a tip she was working illegally. Gruenwald came to Canada in July on a six-month tourist visa.



Following a hearing Monday, she was found inadmissible to Canada and ordered to leave the country.



She was ordered released from detention on conditions that included a $1,500 cash bond.



A boarder services hearing officer said arrangements are being made for her removal and it should happen within a couple of weeks.



The agency detains Israelis every year for working without permits at kiosks selling beauty products or artwork, often at malls during the pre-Christmas season.



Two Israeli men were ordered to leave Canada for a year in 2004 after admitting they had overseen a group of young Israelis peddling cheap art door-to-door at inflated prices in Edmonton, Calgary and Red Deer.
