Ontario Judge Overturns Pharmacist’s Citizenship Revocation

An immigrant pharmacist, Nermine Magdi Ibrahim, had her Canadian citizenship revoked in November 2024 due to alleged misrepresentation regarding her residency. A Federal Court judge criticized immigration officials for their lengthy delay in the revocation proceedings, which began in 2014, and ultimately set aside the revocation. Ibrahim, who became a citizen in 2007, had declared absences from Canada but argued her ties to the country were strong. The court deemed the delay unjustifiable, questioning the integrity of the process.
