The accused was charged with two offences under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act: (1) returning to Canada without authorization after a removal order was enforced, contrary to section 52(1); and (2) failing to appear for examination at a port of entry, contrary to section 18(1).
The accused had been issued an Exclusion Order on June 18, 2012, and deported to the United States.
He subsequently re-entered Canada in September 2012 without presenting himself for examination at a port of entry.
The Crown proved both charges beyond a reasonable doubt.
The accused admitted knowledge of the Exclusion Order and his inadmissibility but chose to return to Canada anyway.
The court found guilt on both counts.
