Motion for emergency stay of removal dismissed due to lack of a serious issue and poor immigration history.
The applicant, a citizen of Côte d'Ivoire, sought an emergency stay of his removal scheduled for January 24, 2025, pending a decision on his H&C application.
The Federal Court dismissed the motion, finding that the applicant failed to demonstrate a serious issue to be tried regarding the CBSA officer's refusal to defer his removal.
The Court also noted the applicant's history of immigration non-compliance and criminality weighed against granting equitable relief.
