The Immigration Division is a tribunal under the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada responsible for deciding matters related to admissibility and detention in Canada. If you have been referred to this Division, it means your immigration status or right to remain in Canada is under review. At Anwar Immigration Law Office, we guide clients through this process, ensuring they clearly understand their situation and legal options.

Hearings before the Immigration Division fall into two main categories: admissibility hearings and detention reviews. Admissibility hearings occur when a person is believed to be inadmissible either while trying to enter Canada or while already in the country. These cases are usually initiated by the Canada Border Services Agency, which may prepare a formal report outlining the reasons for inadmissibility under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA). A government delegate then decides whether to issue a removal order or refer the case to the Immigration Division for a hearing.

During an admissibility hearing, the Division reviews all evidence and determines whether the individual can enter or stay in Canada, or if a removal order should be issued. In some cases, individuals may be allowed to remain or be granted entry for further examination, while in others, removal may be enforced. Our firm provides comprehensive legal support at every stage, from reviewing reports and preparing documentation to strong representation at hearings.
