The accused was found guilty of returning to Canada without authorization and failing to appear for examination.
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.
