The Attorney General of Canada, on behalf of the United States, applied for an order committing the respondent into custody pending a decision on his extradition.
The United States sought the respondent for allegedly preparing fraudulent asylum applications and providing false identification documents.
The court found that the double-criminality requirement was met, as the alleged conduct would constitute counselling misrepresentation under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act if committed in Canada.
The court also dismissed the respondent's arguments regarding identity, finding sufficient evidence that the respondent was the person sought.
The committal order was granted.
