A Tunisian man serving a life sentence in Canada for plotting to kill passengers by derailing a VIA Rail train has convinced a Federal Court judge to delay immigration authorities from deciding if he’s allowed to stay here because it could harm his mental health.
The proceeding at issue was an admissibility hearing for Chiheb Esseghaier before the Immigration and Refugee Board. Because of his 2015 convictions, the likely result would have been an automatic deportation order.
