Truck Driver Who Caused Humboldt Broncos Bus Crash Loses Refugee Bid

The Immigration and Refugee Board on Thursday denied truck driver Jaskirat Singh Sidhu's request to remain in Canada, the ruling reported by The Canadian Press on Feb 5, 2026.
In April 2018, Jaskirat Singh Sidhu drove a semi-trailer through a flashing stop sign into a Humboldt Broncos bus at a Tisdale, Sask. rural intersection, killing sixteen and injuring 13.
The immigration record shows the board revoked Sidhu's permanent residency on May 24, 2024, and his July 2024 refugee claim was denied; CBSA previously rejected his stay request on March 9, 2022.
Michael Greene says Canada Border Services Agency is legally obliged to remove Sidhu soon, moving him closer to deportation to India as relatives of four victims asked to deny his release.
The Immigration and Refugee Board is still considering a restoration application, and Greene says Sidhu learned of the ruling Wednesday and plans to ask for a deferral.
