Whether a foreign national or permanent resident is permitted to stay in Canada under immigration law is decided at an admissibility hearing. These hearings are handled by the Immigration Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) and mainly arise when the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) feels a person is inadmissible owing to criminality, misrepresentation, security concerns, or medical grounds.

Facing an admissibility hearing can be stressful and perplexing, especially when your future in Canada is at stake. The result could be a removal order, no action, or other severe repercussions. That’s why understanding the process and having experienced legal representation is vital to defending your rights and immigration status.

A CBSA officer provides evidence to back up the claim of inadmissibility during the hearing. You or your lawyer have the opportunity to respond, contest the facts, provide documents, and make legal arguments before a decision-maker. A well-thought-out legal strategy and preparation can have a big impact on how your case turns out.
