VANCOUVER—Lawyers for Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou will respond on Jan. 23 to the Canadian prosecutor’s arguments calling for Meng to be extradited to the United States on bank fraud charges.

Thursday’s proceedings will wrap up the first phase of the extradition process and legal experts have said it could be years before a final decision is reached in the case, since Canada’s justice system allows many decisions to be appealed.
