Underwater hockey
Some people will try anything to get to an affluent Western country to start a new life - risking their lives in creaking container ships or stifling trucks.
But a group of Moldovans appears to have found a rather more elaborate means of migration - by posing as a national team in the little-known sport of women's underwater hockey.
According to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, a people-smuggler from the former Soviet republic came up with the idea of making prospective migrants look like underwater hockey players to get them visas for Canada.
