OTTAWA—A judge has declared that four Canadian men being held in Syrian camps are entitled to the federal government’s help to return home.

In a ruling Friday, Federal Court Justice Henry Brown effectively directed Ottawa to request repatriation of the men as soon as reasonably possible and provide them with passports or emergency travel documents.
