Trialable Issues: Canada and Charges

trialable issues: Motor vehicle theft is punishable by up to 10 years in prison in Canada, according to CBC. Mr. Ahmed Aden Ali was deemed inadmissible to Canada because he had been earlier convicted of grand theft auto in the U.S. It's considered serious criminality under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, which classifies any crime with a maximum of at least 10 years in prison as serious. Ali, who had every hope to stay here, his pending criminal charges didn't even prevent Canada from removing him, said his defence lawyer, Amado Claros. They ended up staying or dropping those charges as a result of him actually being removed from Canada. ... From our perspective as defence, there are considerable trialable issues on the charges he was facing. The deportation was not because of those criminal charges. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
