Inadmissibility Hearings

Facing Inadmissibility in Canada? Defend Your Right to Stay.

Inadmissibility Hearings Support by Cougar Immigration

Have you been found inadmissible to Canada and are now scheduled for an admissibility or removal hearing? This is a serious legal matter—one that could result in deportation, loss of status, or a ban on future entry.

At Cougar Immigration, we provide experienced guidance and representation to help you prepare for inadmissibility hearings, respond effectively, and fight to preserve your status in Canada.

 

What is an Inadmissibility Hearing?

An inadmissibility hearing is held by the Immigration Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) when the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) believes you should not be allowed to enter or remain in Canada.

These hearings determine whether you are inadmissible under one or more grounds of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), such as:

• Criminality (convictions inside or outside Canada)
• Misrepresentation (false information or document fraud)
• Security or human rights violations
• Medical inadmissibility (public health or burden)
• Financial reasons (inability to support yourself)
• Failure to comply with IRCC conditions
• Inadmissible family members

 

What Happens at the Hearing?

At your hearing:

• A CBSA representative will present the case against you
• You or your lawyer will have a chance to respond and present evidence
• A member of the Immigration Division will make the final ruling
• If found inadmissible, a removal order may be issued immediately

This is your only chance to argue your case and avoid removal.
