Narrative:
A CL30 was being vectored for an ILS 05 approach into cef. The aircraft was at 5;000 when I descended the aircraft to 3;000; which was the MVA. I had some things to do before turning the CL30 onto final when I looked at his altitude; which was 2;000. I told the aircraft that the assigned altitude was 3;000 and to climb and maintain 3;000. He acknowledged and then made it to 3;000 and was turned onto the approach. Try to catch altitude busts when they leave the altitude if you are able.
