Canadian immigration officials were unreasonable to refuse services for five years to a Syrian-Canadian man they believed let his relative use his passport to enter Canada, according to a new Federal Court ruling out of Toronto.
Aiman Hatoum, a citizen of both Canada and Syria, took the Attorney General of Canada to court after the Passport Entitlement and Investigations Division (PEID) of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada revoked both his Canadian passports on Feb. 24, 2023. It also refused Hatoum passport services for five years starting Oct. 10, 2021, the date of the alleged misuse of the first passport.
