Air Canada Flight: Lee Rankin

Immigration And Refugee Dept: The man, who made a claim for refugee status after he was taken into custody, is set to attend the detention review hearing before the Immigration and Refugee Board in Vancouver. He was arrested after the flight landed in Vancouver on Oct. 29, according to CBC. Rankin also told News on Sunday his client might have used a fake U.S. passport to board the plane but that information was "very preliminary." A young Asian man who boarded an Air Canada plane in Hong Kong disguised as an elderly Caucasian man is expected to appear before an immigration review panel on Monday to determine whether he will remain in custody. The man's lawyer, Lee Rankin, said it's unlikely his client would be released from custody until his genuine documents arrived in Canada and were evaluated by Canadian security officials, which could take as long as one month. Canada Border Services released pictures of the man alleged to have boarded an Air Canada flight in disguise. CBSA As reported in the news.
