A federal court judge has nullified an Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) ruling that allowed a former lieutenant-colonel of China’s People’s Liberation Army admitted into Canada .

He studied military management at the Combined Arms Academy of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation before his military theory and strategy teaching gig at the university’s Department of Combat Comman
