A U.S.-South Korean dual citizen who has violated six deportation orders from Canada was sentenced Monday for his latest transgression.

Junseo Hagh, 21, was sentenced to nine months in prison after pleading guilty to returning to Canada without authorization and failing to appear for an examination to determine whether he was allowed to return to Canada.

The sentence is equivalent to time served with credit for the six months Hagh has served in pre-trial custody.

Hagh first arrived in Canada in February 2016 on a study permit, but his legal immigration status expired in February 2021.

Since December 2022, Hagh, who also goes by Ethan, has violated six deportation orders, according to facts presented by Crown prosecutor Michelle Liu in a joint sentencing submission.
