Admissibility Hearings

hearings are critical in Canadian immigration, evaluating individuals’ eligibility regarding security, criminality, or immigration regulation violations. Triggered by factors like criminal convictions or misrepresentation, these hearings address grounds such as security risks, human rights violations, or health concerns.

Individuals have the right to a fair hearing, presenting their case with legal representation, overseen by the Immigration Division of the independent Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB). Procedural fairness ensures informed, evidenced responses to the case against them.

Outcomes may range from removal orders to specific status conditions. Dissatisfied individuals can appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD). For those deemed inadmissible, options like waivers or rehabilitation exist, demonstrating reform.

Collaborating with experienced immigration lawyers is crucial, in navigating the legal intricacies, and ensuring preparedness for admissibility issues in the immigration journey.
