"Two hundred and forty for half an hour is too expensive. Is there any discount? If it's good, I will come back," the officer wrote.
The person on the other end ultimately replies: "With sincerity, everything could be easily discussed."
According to the CBSA report, Zhang met an undercover officer at the front entrance of an apartment building in Richmond. He presented his badge and another officer emerged from a stairwell.
Zhang allegedly claimed she was just trying to make a little extra money. She allegedly said she was unaware her work permit prohibited her from "employment in business related to the sex trade, such as strip clubs, massage parlours or escort services."
"Neither myself, nor my husband is the boss. I just earn a little bit money as a little person. So you know, it's not like what you said that I have so many girls who pay me. It's not true," Zhang is quoted as saying.
"And also, I didn't know that providing this service is illegal in Canada."

In her arguments for a judicial review, Zhang claims that, although she was asked if she understood the interpreter, she was not informed that the interpreter was not qualified.
"The case at bar involves negative credibility findings, a finding of fact that the applicant disputes as factually incorrect, and at least one important incident where translation was not contemporaneous," her lawyer argued.
"The applicant proposes that procedural fairness cannot be simply discharged by asking the applicant if she 'understands the interpreter.'"
