Minister Of Public Safety Appeals IAD

If the Immigration Division decides that you are not inadmissible and cannot remain in Canada anymore, the Minister of Public Safety can appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) within 30 days of the decision. This is known as a Minister’s appeal. You can participate in the appeal in order to explain why you should be able to stay in Canada.
Immigration investigations can be conducted by immigration as well as other agencies Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), also m there may be some involvement of Royal Canadian Mounted Police RCMP, Canada security Intelligent Service CSIS or other local and international law enforcement agencies.

The purpose of such investigations is to see if you have violated any immigration rules and regulations. Depending on the nature of the suspected violation, you may or may not be asked to participate in an interview or in questioning related to the investigation. In some cases you may be given a time-limited opportunity to reply to a notice or participate. It is in your interest to take advantage of this opportunity in order to avoid a hearing which could lead to a removal order being made against you. It is important to review it carefully, seek legal advice as soon as possible, and respond accordingly and on time.  If you can alleviate the concerns raised in the report, then the investigation into you may be closed. However, if you fail to adequately address the allegations, it is possible that CBSA may start deportation proceedings to remove you from Canada.

Removal Orders, in all cases, require that you leave Canada. If you fear return to your country of nationality or habitual residence, you may make an application for Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) to have your risks assessed prior to removal.

Even in cases where the Minister’s decision to seek a removal order is all but certain, it is still important to have assistance in responding to the Minister’s investigation in order to ensure that the circumstances of your case are presented in the most sympathetic light possible as this will also be referred back to in subsequent proceedings.

In case of compelling humanitarian and compassionate circumstances warranting not to seek a removal order against them. For example, if they would be subjected to extreme hardship and persecution in their country of nationality if removed, or if the best interests of a child would be adversely affected by the execution of a removal order against them, this information is highly relevant for the officer to decide the case and should be timely provided to them.
