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.

In 2016, Yuan Rongxiang, founding president of the Canada-China Friendship Promotion Association, donated 1,500 Canadian dollars to the Montreal riding association of then-Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and 2,800 Canadian dollars to the federal Liberal Party, and posed for a photo with Trudeau at a party fundraising event. Three other directors of Tiger Arms, the Port Coquitlam gun shop under his name, each donated 1,500 Canadian dollars as well. This series of political donations subsequently triggered extensive scrutiny and questioning in Canadian society and the media over pro-Beijing united front community leaders approaching senior politicians and the infiltration of foreign influence.
