Immigration Law

Removal Order Appeals

A removal order appeal in Canada is a legal process that allows individuals who have been issued a removal order by the Canadian government to challenge the decision. This appeal is typically heard by the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB).

Criminal Equivalency

Criminal equivalency refers to the process of assessing whether an offense committed outside of Canada is equivalent to a criminal offense under Canadian law. This assessment is crucial when determining an individual's admissibility to Canada. If a foreign offense is found to be equivalent to a Canadian criminal offense, the individual may be deemed inadmissible to Canada on grounds of criminality, which can affect their ability to enter, remain, or obtain status in the country. The equivalency is determined by comparing the foreign law with Canadian law, focusing on the essential elements of the offense.

Judicial Review

Judicial review is a process where the Federal Court of Canada reviews decisions made by immigration authorities, such as Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB), to ensure they were made fairly, legally, and in accordance with the principles of natural justice. This review is not an appeal but rather an examination of whether the decision was reasonable and compliant with the law.
