The woman, who can’t be identified due to a publication ban, was arrested in August following a missing persons investigation. In that investigation, she was charged with parental abduction and mischief after allegedly illegally crossing into the United States.
She also faces charges in the U.S. including felony aggravated identity theft.
The woman is scheduled to appear in Saskatoon Provincial Court again on Nov. 25 to enter a plea.
