They don't have any. They asked Canada to arrest her and they agreed to do it.

I assume it's basically the same authority that China would use if they wanted to arrest somebody who happened to be in Laos -- "what's Laos/Canada going to do, say no?"

They can ask Canada to do so, usually through legal cooperation/assistance agreements. But it remains Canada's decision to help or not.

#8Note that this arrest was due to the lesser sin of export control busting, rather than Huawei's biggest sin: facilitating surveillance and IP theft.
Remarkable that they (she?) went through all the effort to set up a HK front company, but then left the Huawei logo on their powerpoint decks

She allegedly broke US law and was in the territory of a country that shares an extradition treaty with the US.
