Detention Reviews in Canada: Your Rights and How Immisa Immigration Can Help
What is a Detention Review?
A detention review is a legal proceeding where the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) assesses whether a detained foreign national or permanent resident should remain in custody or be released. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) may detain individuals for various reasons, including concerns about identity verification, public safety, or the risk of flight from immigration proceedings.
Individuals may be subject to detention and a subsequent review if:
- Their identity cannot be confirmed.
- They are deemed a flight risk (likely to avoid immigration processes).
- They pose a danger to public safety.
- There are reasonable grounds to suspect they are inadmissible to Canada due to security, human rights violations, or criminal activity.
During a detention review hearing, an IRB member will decide whether the individual should:
- Be Released: The detainee may be released on conditions such as a bond, supervision, or reporting requirements.
- Remain Detained: If the IRB member determines that detention is necessary, the individual will remain in custody and another review will take place within 7 or 30 days, depending on the case.
