The offender was convicted of conspiracy and attempting to import approximately 356 grams of cocaine from Costa Rica.
The Crown sought a three-year sentence, while the defence sought two years, noting the offender's impending deportation.
The court found the offender was a key participant in the scheme and had a prior record for drug trafficking.
The court determined a fit sentence was 35 months, but reduced it to two years less a day after applying credit for pre-sentence custody, strict house arrest, and the collateral consequence of certain deportation.
