Chung Shin Jim

I reached out to Kingwell Immigration Law after receiving a Procedural Fairness Letter (PFL). Christian Julien and Christie were assigned to my case, and both did an outstanding job. Christian went above and beyond to clearly explain my situation and guide me through every step of the process. I always felt supported and truly listened to, as he addressed each and every concern and question I had.  Despite extremely short notice, Christian and Christie prepared and submitted a comprehensive response to my PFL amounting to hundreds of pages. As a result, my eTA remains approved. I am incredibly grateful for their dedication, professionalism, and unwavering support.

Who Needs a Deportation Lawyer in Canada?

Our Canada deportation lawyer will help individuals facing removal from Canada due to legal, immigration, or humanitarian concerns. If you are at risk of deportation, seeking legal help immediately can improve your chances of staying in Canada.

Who Needs Us.

You may be at risk of deportation due to criminal charges, failure to meet residency obligations, or misrepresentation in your immigration application.

If you have overstayed your visa, violated immigration conditions, or entered Canada without proper documentation, you may need legal representation to challenge your removal order.

If your refugee claim has been rejected, you may need to appeal to the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) or apply for a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) to stay in Canada.

If you have been convicted of a crime in Canada, you may need to apply for Criminal Rehabilitation or Ministerial Relief to avoid removal.

If you have strong family ties in Canada, a medical condition, or other exceptional circumstances, you may be eligible to apply for H&C relief to prevent deportation.

If you have been removed from Canada and want to return, you may need to apply for an Authorization to Return to Canada (ARC).

What Actually Makes a Deferral of Removal Succeed

Not every removal deferral request will succeed, and working with someone who can assess that honestly before you apply matters. At Kingwell Immigration Law, Daniel Kingwell’s approach is to look for two primary factors:

  1. Children who are settled in Canada and enrolled in school
  2. Physical risk in the home country that has not been properly assessed through the immigration system

 

What courts have consistently held is that separation from a spouse, family members, or community is, on its own, not enough. As difficult as that is to hear, it is the reality: courts treat this as the normal result of removal. Lengthy processing time — where an application has been outstanding for close to a year or more — can be raised, but irreparable harm still needs to be demonstrated alongside it.

The conversation about deferral is one to have early. The window between when CBSA books a removal date and when the flight is scheduled is typically two to six weeks — and the deferral request, and any Federal Court stay application that follows, must be completed within that window.

After appealing to the Federal Court, PRRA applicants from Israel reconsidered.

Pre-Removal Risk Assessment applicants from Israel. The applicants claimed to be at risk as an Arab-Israeli LGBT couple. IRCC rejected their PRRA application. We successfully appealed the decision to the Federal Court on the basis that the officer had refused to consider a news report of an “honour killing” in their family. The Court ordered IRCC to reconsider the application.

Refugee claimant from Albania. For a decade, he fought his case with the Minister at the Refugee Protection Division, who argued that he should be excluded from protection because of a criminal conviction.

Inadmissibility
Study Permit application from Albania reconsidered by IRCC after appeals to the Federal Court.

Citizen from Albania applying for a study permit. IRCC rejected it, stating that her study plan was not reasonable given her education history. She requested reconsideration which IRCC also rejected. We appealed both decisions to the Federal Court and overturned the rejection, the Court agreeing that the officer had ignored her explanation that the course of studies was more specialized than her previous education and necessary for her career advancement. IRCC was required to reconsider her study permit application.

D.G. v Minister of Citizenship and Immigration (2021 FC 1468)

Hearings, Appeals, and Judicial Reviews
Conjugal partner PR application rejected by IAD returned to IRCC for processing after appeal to the Federal Court.

Overseas sponsorship of conjugal partner from Saudi Arabia. IRCC refused the application on the basis that they did not meet the requirements of conjugal partnership, and the Immigration Appeal Division rejected their appeal. We represented them on appeal to the Federal Court, and the judge overturned the decision, agreeing that the officer and IAD had improperly considered their individual and relationship histories. Their PR application was returned to IRCC for processing.

Legal Consequences of Deportation

A deportation order carries serious legal consequences, which may include:

Consequences We Help You Avoid.

Depending on the type of removal order, individuals may be barred from returning to Canada for one year, multiple years, or permanently.

Those deported due to criminal activity, misrepresentation, or security concerns may be permanently barred from re-entering Canada unless granted special permission.

Deportation can separate families and cause individuals to lose their work, study, or residency status in Canada.

If you are in any of these situations, time is critical. Contact Kingwell Immigration Law today to discuss your options and fight for your right to stay in Canada.

Types of Removal Orders & Legal Consequences

When a person is ordered to leave Canada, they receive one of the following removal orders, each with different legal consequences. Understanding your removal order is essential in determining your legal options and possible appeals.

We Are Experts In....

Requires the individual to leave Canada within 30 days and notify the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) of their departure. If they comply, they may return to Canada in the future without special permission. If they fail to leave within 30 days, the order automatically becomes a Deportation Order.

Prevents the individual from returning to Canada for 1 to 2 years, depending on the reason for removal. In some cases, an Authorization to Return to Canada (ARC) is required before re-entry.

The most severe type of removal order, permanently banning the individual from returning to Canada unless they obtain special permission through an Authorization to Return to Canada (ARC) application.

Individuals facing deportation may apply for relief based on exceptional circumstances, such as strong family ties in Canada, medical conditions, or risks in their home country. A successful Humanitarian & Compassionate (H&C) application may allow the person to stay in Canada despite a removal order.

Legal Defences Against Deportation

Deportation does not have to be final—there are legal avenues to challenge, delay, or overturn removal orders. With the right legal strategy, you may be able to remain in Canada and secure your immigration status.

Defences We Employ.
  • Permanent residents may appeal removal if it is based on criminality, failure to meet residency obligations, or misrepresentation.
  • Sponsorship refusals can also be appealed if a family member is facing removal.
  • If a deportation order was unfairly decided, we can file a Judicial Review in Federal Court to challenge the ruling.
  • In urgent cases, we apply for a Stay of Removal, which temporarily halts deportation while the case is reviewed.
  • If deportation puts you at risk of persecution, torture, or serious harm, you may qualify for PRRA protection.
  • PRRA is available to asylum seekers and individuals facing danger in their home country.
  • If you have strong family ties in Canada, medical conditions, or other compelling reasons to stay, you may qualify for H&C relief.
  • Factors considered include hardship upon return, establishment in Canada, and risks to your well-being.
  • If you are facing deportation due to a criminal record, we can apply for Ministerial Relief or Criminal Rehabilitation to remove your inadmissibility status.
  • If you have already been deported, you may need to apply for an Authorization to Return to Canada (ARC) before being allowed back into the country.
  • We assist in preparing strong legal arguments and supporting documentation to improve your chances of approval.
