With years of experience handling complex immigration cases, we can help you navigate the legal process, defend your rights, and present a strong case for your continued stay in Canada.

What is an Admissibility Hearing?

An admissibility hearing is a legal proceeding conducted by the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) to determine whether an individual can remain in Canada or must be removed. The Canadian government may issue an admissibility hearing for a variety of reasons, such as:
  • Criminal activity: If you have been convicted of a crime inside or outside of Canada, you may be deemed inadmissible.
  • Human or international rights violations: This includes involvement in war crimes, genocide, or crimes against humanity.
  • Security reasons: Individuals suspected of espionage, subversion, or terrorism may face an admissibility hearing.
  • Health grounds: If you are considered to pose a significant risk to public health or safety due to a medical condition, you could be found inadmissible.
  • Misrepresentation: If you provided false information on your immigration application or misrepresented yourself in any way, you could be called to an admissibility hearing.
  • Financial reasons: If you are unable or unwilling to support yourself financially while in Canada, you may face removal.
During the hearing, a board member will assess the evidence presented by the government as well as any arguments and evidence presented by your legal representative. The outcome of the hearing can have life-changing consequences, including possible deportation or loss of status in Canada.

Why You May Need Legal Representation at an Admissibility Hearing

Facing an admissibility hearing can be intimidating, especially if you are unfamiliar with Canadian immigration laws and the legal process.

Our services for admissibility hearings include:

Case Analysis

We will review the allegations against you and assess your case to identify the best course of action. This involves examining the evidence provided by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) or Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), and identifying any weaknesses or inconsistencies in their case.

Gathering Evidence

We will help you gather evidence to support your defense, such as character references, medical records, legal documentation from your home country, and more. This evidence is critical to demonstrating why you should be allowed to stay in Canada.

Legal Representation at the Hearing

We will represent you at the admissibility hearing, making sure that your side of the story is clearly and effectively presented. Our lawyers are experienced in cross-examining government witnesses, challenging evidence, and making persuasive legal arguments.

Appeals and Judicial Reviews

If the decision from the admissibility hearing is unfavorable, we can assist with filing an appeal or applying for judicial review. We will help you understand your options and guide you through the next steps.

How to Prepare for an Admissibility Hearing

Preparing for an admissibility hearing involves more than simply gathering documents. It requires a thorough understanding of immigration law, the specific grounds for inadmissibility, and the legal process that will be followed during the hearing. At Canada Admissibility Lawyers, we make sure you are fully prepared by:
  • Explaining the process: We will walk you through what to expect during the hearing, including the types of questions you may be asked and the evidence that will be presented.
  • Providing legal advice: Based on your unique situation, we will advise you on the best legal strategies to pursue. This may include challenging the allegations against you, seeking a stay of removal, or negotiating with immigration authorities to resolve the matter before the hearing.
  • Building your defense: We will work with you to gather the strongest possible evidence to support your case, including witness statements, expert opinions, and documentation that challenges the grounds of inadmissibility.

What to Expect During an Admissibility Hearing

Admissibility hearings are formal legal proceedings conducted by the Immigration Division of the IRB. The hearings typically involve a government representative (such as a CBSA officer) presenting the case against you, and a board member making a decision based on the evidence.
You will have the opportunity to respond to the allegations, present your own evidence, and make legal arguments with the help of your lawyer. It is important to remember that admissibility hearings can result in deportation or loss of status, which makes having experienced legal representation essential to ensuring the best possible outcome.
