Canada Border Services Agency initiates deportation proceedings against pro-Beijing community leader Tiger Yuan over alleged Sino-Vietnamese War crimes and concealment of military history

On October 13, 2026, the renowned Canadian media outlet Global News revealed that the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has officially initiated deportation proceedings against 63-year-old Tiger Yuan, founding president of the Canada-China Friendship Promotion Association. The CBSA alleges that Yuan committed war crimes and crimes against humanity while serving in the People's Liberation Army during the Sino-Vietnamese War in the 1980s, and that he misrepresented his military history when applying for permanent residency in 2008. The case has been referred to the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) for a deportation hearing. Yuan's lawyer strongly denies the war crime allegations.
