Certain persons due to prior criminal record, can result in a Canadian Immigration Officer refusing their entry, or application, on the basis of criminal inadmissibility. If you are found to be inadmissible or you predict you will be found, and you have cause to travel to Canada that is justified in the circumstances, you may be entitled to be issued a temporary resident permit (TRP). contact us today for your options.
In cases of detention, a person is usually detained by Canada’s Border Services Agency, by virtue of section 55 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, an officer:
- considered it necessary to complete an examination;
- was not satisfied with the person’s identity;
- had reason to believe that a person was inadmissible to Canada and was a danger to the public, unlikely to appear for an examination, an admissibility hearing, removal from Canada or a proceeding that could lead to a removal order; or
- had reason to suspect that the person was inadmissible to Canada for reasons of security, violating human or International rights, serious criminality, criminality or organized criminality.
Where the person is detained either in a provincial correctional facility or in a minimum-security immigration holding centre located in Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver, the Canada’s Border Service Agency determines where he or she will be detained. If you are detained contact us today to evaluate your options.
