Immigration Detention

If a loved one has been detained for immigration reasons, acting quickly and with the right information can make all the difference. In Canada, the Immigration Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) reviews the legality of the detention and decides on possible release.

At Immilennial Immigration Consulting, we provide urgent and strategic support to:

• Clearly explain the process to the detained person and their family.
• Prepare strong documents and arguments for the detention review hearing.
• Coordinate statements, assurances, and conditions that may help secure release.
• Represent or assist during the hearing, as needed.

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) may detain an individual if:

• They do not have valid documents to remain in Canada.
• They are considered a flight risk (not likely to appear for hearings or removal).
• There are security concerns or suspicions of criminality.
• Their identity needs to be confirmed.

Every detained person has the right to a detention review hearing before the Immigration Division:

• Within 48 hours of the initial detention.
• If detention continues, every 7 days thereafter, and then every 30 days.

If you or a family member are facing immigration detention, book a consultation. We will analyze your case, define the best strategy, and support you every step of the way.
