ADMISSIBILITY AND REMOVAL ORDER
Admissibility Hearing
If you are a foreign national or a permanent resident of Canada and you receive a report due to misrepresentation or criminality, you will be referred to an admissibility hearing at the Immigration Division. You might then be issued a removal order or an exclusion order. If you are a permanent resident of Canada, you have a right to appeal the removal order to the Immigration Appeal Division within 30 days.
Inadmissibility is a serious matter that can jeopardize the ability of foreign nationals and permanent residents to live, work, visit, or study in Canada. Our Canadian immigration and refugee lawyers and consultants have significant experience representing individuals who have been found inadmissible by assisting them throughout their admissibility hearings or subsequent appeals.

Removal Order
There are three kinds of removal order which can be issued to non-citizens residing in Canada, and each type of removal order carries with it separate consequences:
- Deportation Order
- Exclusion Order
- Departure Order
An individual can receive a removal order in a variety of circumstances. These include: asylum seekers who have had their refugee claims rejected, visitors who breach the conditions of or overstay a visa, permanent residents convicted of criminal offences, and failed permanent resident applicants who applied from inside Canada.
Permanent residents who have been issued a removal order have the option of appealing this decision to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD). In some cases, the order is neither allowed nor withdrawn, and instead is stayed. A stay suspends the enforcement of a removal order for a period of time and usually attaches case appropriate conditions.
