How to Appeal

• Within 30 days of receiving the removal order, you must submit an appeal to the IAD.
• Appeals are open to permanent residents or individuals with a permanent resident visa, including refugees and eligible foreign nationals.
• Upon submission, you’ll receive a receipt acknowledging the appeal request along with information about your upcoming appearance.
• A member of the IAD reviews the appeal and decides whether the removal order stands or is revoked.

Grounds for Denial

The IAD may deny the appeal if you’re found to be involved in organized crime, pose security risks, have violated human or international rights, or were imprisoned for six months or more after committing a serious offence in Canada.

Success in Appeals

Legal representation is crucial during the appeal process, since the Board Member may consider Humanitarian and Compassionate factors alongside the standard criteria. Proper representation ensures your circumstances are effectively presented and fully considered by the decision-maker.

Deferral of Appeal

Appeals may result in a temporary Stay/Deferral of Removal Orders instead of an immediate approval or denial. During the stay period, you retain your status as a permanent resident and aren’t required to leave. The stay typically has a set timeframe, during which you must demonstrate compliance with Canadian regulations.

After the Appeal

• Appeals involve you (the Appellant) and the Minister’s Counsel, and are conducted publicly.
• If the appeal is successful, you are not compelled to leave Canada.
• If the appeal is denied, you will be removed from the country by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
