“Jace” Wan Yiu-sing Granted Political Asylum in Canada, Applying for Permanent Residency; Says Canadian Government “Judged That I Was Not Laundering Money”
「傑斯」尹耀昇獲加拿大政治庇護 正申請永居 稱加政府「判斷我唔係洗黑錢」
Online radio host “Jace” Wan Yiu-sing was previously sentenced to 32 months’ imprisonment for money laundering and conspiracy to do acts with a seditious intention. He was released on 18 November 2022 and went to Canada the following year. He recently announced on his YouTube channel that he had been granted political asylum in Canada and had formally entered the stage of applying for permanent residency. Initially refused entry as a visitor and stranded in Taiwan In a video posted on Tuesday (28 October), Wan said he came to Canada in March 2023 and had spent the following two and a half years handling his political asylum application, describing his case as “tricky”. He explained that, because he had been convicted of money laundering in Hong Kong, Canada had at one point refused to let him enter as a visitor. He had to remain in Taiwan for some time, and was eventually allowed to enter after a Canadian member of Parliament explained the situation to the authorities and “made a special exception”.
