A Federal Court judge in Vancouver on Monday rejected Robin Long's application for a stay of his deportation order.
The 25-year-old fled to Canada to avoid serving in Iraq. He was arrested in Nelson, B.C., last October on a Canada-wide warrant.
Long had said he tried to gain refugee status in Canada because he believes he would suffer harm if he had to return to his home country.
In her ruling, Federal Court of Canada Justice Anne Mactavish said Long did not provide clear and convincing evidence that he would suffer irreparable harm if he is returned home.
