Edgar Gonzalez de Paz, 37, received a two-year prison sentence after admitting to conspiracy charges related to organizing illegal entries into the United States.

The Canada Border Services Agency investigation uncovered his involvement in smuggling seven individuals across the border in January 2024 for financial gain.

This marks his second conviction, following a previous guilty plea under immigration law that resulted in ten months imprisonment.

Authorities confirmed that upon completing his sentence, Gonzalez de Paz will face removal from Canada due to his criminal inadmissibility status under federal immigration regulations.
