Two clients charged with violations of the Immigration Act receive absolute discharges

The Cormier Simard criminal law firm was representing two clients charged with attempting to enter Canada fraudulently in contravention of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (Sections 18, 124 and 131 of the Act). Mr. Cormier discussed with the Prosecutor and explained his clients’ situation. The latter had to avoid having criminal records in order to be able to enter Canada once again. The Judge agreed to the lawyers’ suggestion and granted the clients an absolute discharge.

Not all Mr. Cormier’s clients receive discharges. See notice.
