On paper, Amin Cohen is a 37 -year -old banking professional with a professional degree and Condo in Th Nuta’s Thorn Ranhill.
But it’s just its latest identity.
At a deportation hearing in Toronto, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced that the Iranian citizen had not used less than three lifetime names.
He arrived in Canada as Amin Yusufizam and before that he was Amin Ricky. It also turned out that he was a Tehran police lieutenant during his compulsory military service.
CBS officials said that in 2022, he legally named his name in NT Natario – US to help Iran avoid sanctions. Without being convicted in.
New details about his developing identity emerged at the immigration and refugee board hearing last week, which would decide whether he should be sent back to Iran.
Canadian Immigration Enforcement officials want to deport it based on their role in the Iranian sanctions Dogging Scheme.
The CBSA argued by illegally carrying Canada’s efforts by Canada to accommodate the risks raised by the Islamic Republic.
According to a CBSA report, Toronto’s residents “increased the risk of security towards Canada in the context of attacking terrorism and nuclear weapons.”
Their actions “directly compromise” the Canadian government’s foreign policy on Iran’s dictatorial rule, which includes the Hamas, Hizbalah and Yemen’s Hothis are the “axis of resistance”.
The case comes because members and supporters of the oppressive Iranian rule by the federal government are forced to prevent Canada from using a safe shelter.

At the hearing, he testified that he was born to Amin Ricky, but before reaching Canada in 2016, he legally named Amin Yusufijam in Iran.

He said that Ricky did not like the way the way he sounded and Yoofzam “was the name that the most echoed with me.”
As a Yusufizam, he was arrested in Toronto in January 2021 US He alleged that he had sent sensitive goods to Iran, violating sanctions.
He was detained in Canada for 10 months after being taken to Michigan, where he spent more than a month in custody, convicted and sentenced time.
The CBSA asked if they know that guilty means to accept their role in the conspiracy, he said he only filed a guilty petition because the fastest way was to solve the matter.
“It was not an entrance to the crime,” he insisted.
Following his conviction in November 2021, Yusufijam returned to the Ntario, where he applied to replace his name Amin Cohen almost immediately.
The CBSA said that on his NT Natario name change form, he ticked “No” B BOX in response to questions asking if he had a criminal record in Canada or elsewhere, CBS said.
Yusufizam testified that he called the NT Natario government information line and was told that he would have to declare only belief in Canada. He said he recently investigated and received the same response.
After his testimony, however, the global news also called the NT Natario government, but he was asked to be convicted even after they became anywhere.
“It is necessary to disclose criminal belief in both Canadians and other jurisdictions,” Joy Woo, a spokesman for public and business service distribution.
The name change form warns applicants that “making a false statement under Canada’s Criminal Code is a serious crime.”
Yusufizam denied that he was trying to hide his past and claimed that he just changed his name because his surname was very long and he caused a prejudice.
He said he chose the name Cohen because it contains both English and Persian origin. He said, ‘It was a personal decision I made.’ “I chose a name that the most echoed with me.”
His brother Arsh Yusufijam The conspiracy of the sanctions was also found guilty and was renamed to Oras Kohen. He told Global News that he did so because “we want to start a new life.”
By the name of Rash Rush Cohen, he became the NT Natario dentist, but his license was stripped in the last fall on the basis of the need to declare his criminal history “in any jurisdiction” with the dental registry of the province.
The NT Natario government has said that it is investigating the change system as a result of the brothers.
“The ability to change one’s name should not be a trauma to avoid justice,” a spokesman responsible for the name change registry said.
“Let the serious criminal offenders hide their identity, not only the integrity of our justice system, but also pose a significant risk to our communities.”
