China Mobile will shut its Canada unit
CMLink, China Mobile’s subsidiary in Canada, will cease operations on January 5 next year in compliance with the request of the Canadian Federal Government, according to a statement released on Tuesday.
The Canadian subsidiary of the largest telecom company in China said it will not accept any new membership applications from December 28, and SIM cards that haven’t been activated before January 5 will be void.
CMLink pledged to help its users to transfer to other operators retaining their current number before March 31. The company also made arrangements for refunds for its users.
The Canadian Federal Government issued an order in August directing China Mobile to divest or liquidate its Canadian business within 90 days, citing national security concerns.
CMLink pushed back and applied to the courts in September to have the order temporarily shelved, arguing that the Canadian government has no grounds to believe the company would compromise Canada’s national security or engage in espionage. But the application was rejected early this month.
China Mobile’s Canadian subsidiary was founded in 2015 to provide mobile communication services, but the company does not own or operate any telecommunications network facilities in the country.
