Federal judge under fire for immigration rulings that favour rule-breakers

GH Immigration Svcs

Federal Court Justice Avvy Yao-Yao Go, appointed in 2021, faces mounting criticism over her pattern of halting deportations and citizenship revocations in questionable immigration cases.

Recent decisions show Go blocking removal proceedings for asylum claimants with weak evidence, including a Nigerian man who returned home after claiming persecution and individuals who failed to meet residency requirements.

Critics argue her rulings undermine Canada's immigration safeguards by rewarding rule-breaking and country-shopping, straining resources meant for legitimate cases.

Go's judicial record reveals consistent leniency toward applicants whose claims immigration officials deemed non-credible, raising concerns about the enforcement of Canada's borders.
