Event Objectives:
This course is dedicated to comprehensive analysis of an immigration admissibility hearing - a formal quasi-judicial process, which is initiated by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), and conducted by the Immigration Division (ID) of the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) for the purpose of determining whether the foreign nationals (temporary residents and permanent residents of Canada) are admissible or inadmissible to enter into or remain in Canada. Thus, the focus will be on what role the IRB and the CBSA play in admissibility hearing, the proceedings and outcomes of admissibility hearing, as well as on specific grounds of inadmissibly as they are stipulated in sections 34 to 42 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA). Consequently, it will be explored in details why a person concerned may not be able to enter or remain in Canada (if the ID determines that they pose a security threat; or have violated human and international rights; or have been involved in serious criminality or organized criminality; or have a health condition; or do not have enough money to support themselves; or have been engaged in misrepresentation - such as claiming a false identity or withholding material facts; have failed in some way to comply with the IRPA; or they are accompanying an inadmissible family member). It will be also explored, based on the ground of inadmissibility, which relating removal order (departure, exclusion and deportation) is issued by the member of the ID, and how the CBSA officers remove person concerned from Canada. Furthermore, the tips will be provided on how to navigate a successful admissibility hearing, collect relevant evidence, develop and implement a case strategy to offer solutions to overcome inadmissibility in general and, specifically, solutions to overcome criminal inadmissibility by deemed rehabilitated, individual rehabilitation, record suspension, temporary resident permit (TRP) and H&C. An overview of legal remedies will be provided too, underscoring the right to appeal a negative decision of the ID to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) of the IRB (only permanent residents do have this right if they are eligible), and to apply for a leave for judicial review to the Federal Court (both temporary residents and permanent residents if they meet the eligibility threshold can apply).
