Immigration law 2024 NSPC 57

R v Kazimi

Custody for four months was imposed because the offender bore a high degree of responsibility and planning, committed a third deliberate stowaway re‑entry after explicit CBSA warnings and deportations, and denunciation and deterrence outweigh mitigating factors; a discharge was not in the accused's best interests nor in the public interest and immigration consequences, while considered, were not determinative for a non‑status offender, but a reduced custodial term (four months) was fit and allowed for immediate deportation.

  • Unauthorized re-entry
  • Deportation
  • Stowaway
  • Conditional discharge
  • Denunciation and deterrence

Criminal 2024 ONCA 826

  • Guilty plea voluntariness
  • Plea-striking
  • Sentencing
  • Restitution
  • Collateral consequences
  • Deportation
