MONTREAL—A member of the European Parliament who opposes the Canada-EU free-trade deal has been allowed to stay in Canada after being threatened with expulsion.

“Maybe I will also thank the prime minister (Justin Trudeau), who seems to have understood it wasn’t a good idea to stop me from coming here,” Bové said jokingly.
