Canadian Court Nullifies Ruling Allowing Former Chinese Lieutenant-Colonel into Canada

A federal court judge has nullified an Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) ruling that allowed a former lieutenant-colonel of China’s People’s Liberation Army admitted into Canada. Now, a new admissibility hearing will be held for 44-year-old prospective immigrant Huajie Xu, also a former lecturer at the PLA Information Engineering University, China’s chief military academy for cyber and electronic warfare.

The Minister of Citizenship and Immigration had initially opposed Xu’s entry into Canada on grounds he was a member of a group that conducts espionage against Canada. Xu also won the minister’s appeal case but the minister sought a judicial review, which was granted in the Feb. 19 court ruling from Justice Peter Pamel, in Vancouver. The court heard how Xu had enlisted in the Chinese military in 1998, at age 18, and was eventually promoted three times by 2014. He studied military management at the Combined Arms Academy of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation before his military theory and strategy teaching gig at the university’s Department of Combat Comman
