IMMIGRATION & REFUGEE BOARD (IRB) HEARINGS

Request of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), foreign nationals or permanent residents who are believed to have contravened the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) appear before the Immigration Division (ID) of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) for admissibility hearings.

A person may not be able to enter or remain in Canada if the ID determines that he or she:

• has failed in some way to comply with IRPA
• has engaged in misrepresentation, such as claiming a false identity
• has violated human or international rights
• does not have enough money to support him or herself, or

When the CBSA requests an admissibility hearing, it also sends the IRB a report. The report explains why it believes the person should not be allowed to enter or remain in Canada.
