Len Van Heest, who lived in Courtenay, B.C., was deported from Vancouver to Amsterdam on March 6, 2017, over a list of criminal convictions for uttering threats, assault and mischief. Van Heest, then 59, hadn't lived in his birth country since he was a baby. That officer rejected Van Heest's application. It means Van Heest's application must get second chance with a different immigration officer. In light of Justice Roy's decision, Van Heest's application will be returned for a different officer to review.
