Removal and Deportation Defense
Your Path to Fighting Visa Revocations Starts Here
We understand the devastation that removal from Canada may cause, separating families and destroying careers. However, legal defenses exist to avert removals. Our experienced immigration lawyers can guide you though appeals of inadmissibly findings and deportation proceedings.
Types of Removal Orders
There are three types of removal orders: departure orders, exclusion orders, deportation orders.
Departure orders
The majority of removal orders issued are departure orders provided to individuals issued when a refugee claim is initially made. A departure order issued to a refugee claimant only becomes enforceable when the person receives a negative determination on their refugee claim. A failed refugee claimant has 30 days to leave Canada under a departure order, after which time, the departure order becomes a deportation order. Departure orders may also be issued to foreign nationals who are in Canada without valid legal status.
Exclusion orders
An exclusion order prohibits a person from returning to Canada for one year without written permission or five years if issued for misrepresentation.
Deportation orders
A deportation order permanently bars a person from returning to Canada unless permission to return is obtained from the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
Grounds for Removal and Key Defenses
Inadmissibility findings and deportation proceedings arise due to:
- Misrepresentation or fraud in applications
- Criminality, security risks, human rights violations
- Non-compliance with visa conditions
Defenses include:
- Humanitarian and compassionate factors
- Challenging the legal grounds of a finding of inadmissibility or removal order
- Requests for deferral of removal date
