Marek Adam pleaded guilty to eight charges related to four armed robberies and four wearing a disguise charges.
The robberies involved the use of a pellet gun and an axe, with victims confined.
The Crown sought a 7-year global prison term, while the defence sought 5 years.
The court considered sentencing principles, aggravating and mitigating factors, including the offender's youth, lack of criminal record, and guilty plea, balanced against the seriousness and number of offences, and the impact on victims.
The court also addressed the parity principle with a co-accused who received a 7-year sentence and the collateral consequence of deportation for the non-citizen offender.
A global sentence of 5 years was imposed, with credit for pre-trial custody and restrictive bail conditions, resulting in an actual sentence of 4 years and 4 months.
Ancillary orders included a DNA sample, a lifetime weapon prohibition, and a non-communication order.
