This course provides a practical and legal overview of immigration detention, removal orders, and deferral of removal requests in Canada. Participants will examine how these three processes interact, including detention by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the Immigration Division, the issuance of departure, exclusion, and deportation orders, and the strategic use of deferral requests to delay or stop removal. The course also explores how to prepare effective advocacy for detention review hearings, when and how to request a CBSA deferral of removal, and how to prepare for a stay of removal at the Federal Court, equipping practitioners to respond confidently in high-risk enforcement cases.
