Robitaille: When a Canadian Passport can be Revoked

In an article online this morning relating to the revokation of the passport for the Russian spy who obtained a Canadian passport I found the following quote:

Where Passport Canada is informed that an individual may have provided false or misleading information to obtain a passport, or may have misused a passport, we review the matter and take appropriate action," Robitaille said Monday.


She noted the Canadian Passport Order, legislation governing travel documents, allows the agency to revoke a passport if the holder:

-- is charged in a foreign country with a crime that would constitute an indictable offence if committed in Canada;

-- uses the passport to assist in committing an indictable offence; or

-- has obtained the passport through false or misleading information.

 
The point of my post is my shock that a Canadian who  is merely charged with a crime might have their passport revoked in a foreign land. That is frightening because in Canada we believe that a person is innocent until proven guilty. The person who had their passport revoked would certainly be in no position to argue that fact in a foreign country if they had been falsely accused.  I hope that I have read this wrong and that someone will correct my misapprehension of the facts if I have.
