What constitutes a criminal offence relating to perjury under section 118(a) of the Criminal Code?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Ho Sang Yim v. Barr, 972 F.3d 1069 (9th Cir. 2020):

1 Because we conclude that all of the conduct criminalized by section 118(a) constitutes "an offense relating to ... perjury," we need not apply the modified categorical approach. See, e.g. , Shepard v. United States , 544 U.S. 13, 2526, 125 S.Ct. 1254, 161 L.Ed.2d 205 (2005).
