Admissibility Hearings

The Immigration Division conducts Admissibility Hearings for Foreign Nationals and Permanent Residents who may be considered inadmissible or removable from Canada under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

Why Would You Need to Attend an Admissibility Hearing?

If you have been referred to an Admissibility Hearing, it could be due to one of the following reasons:

  • Failure to comply with Canadian immigration laws.
  • Being considered a security threat.
  • Human rights violations or involvement in international crimes.
  • Criminal activity inside or outside Canada.
  • Misrepresentation, such as providing false information in a Canada visa application.
  • Being a family member of someone who is already considered inadmissible to Canada.
  • Health conditions that may make you ineligible for a Canadian immigration visa.
  • Lack of financial resources to support yourself in Canada.

At the Admissibility Hearing, the judge will review all the available evidence, testimony, and legal arguments before making a decision.

What Happens if You Are Found Inadmissible?

If the judge determines that you are inadmissible, a Removal Order will be issued. In some cases, you may be able to:

  • Appeal the Removal Order.
  • Request a judicial review.

However, the judge will not consider Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) grounds during this hearing.

Why Legal Representation is Important?

Before your Admissibility Hearing, it’s crucial to understand how the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) reached the decision to refer your case. The outcome of this hearing will determine whether you are allowed to stay in Canada or face removal.

If you are required to appear at an Admissibility Hearing, we strongly recommend speaking to an experienced immigration consultant who can help you prepare and protect your rights.
