Detention Review\u00a0<\/h2>

At Anwari Law PC<\/strong>, our Toronto, Ontario immigration lawyers<\/strong> represent individuals who are being held in immigration detention in Canada<\/strong>. If you or a loved one has been detained by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA)<\/strong>, you have the right to a detention review hearing<\/strong> before the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB)<\/strong>.<\/p>

What is a Detention Review?<\/h3>

A detention review<\/strong> is a legal hearing where the Immigration Division of the IRB<\/strong> decides whether a person should remain in immigration detention or be released. During the hearing, the Board reviews the reasons for detention and determines whether continued detention is justified.<\/p>

When Does a Detention Review Occur?<\/h3>

Under Canadian immigration law, detention reviews are held at specific intervals:<\/p>

  • First review:<\/strong> Within 48 hours of detention<\/p><\/li>

  • Second review:<\/strong> Within 7 days after the first review<\/p><\/li>

  • Subsequent reviews:<\/strong> Every 30 days if detention continues<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

    At each hearing, the IRB assesses whether the person should be released with conditions or remain detained<\/strong>.<\/p>

    Reasons for Immigration Detention<\/h3>

    An individual may be detained if authorities believe:<\/p>

    • They may not appear for immigration proceedings or removal<\/strong><\/p><\/li>

    • They pose a risk to public safety<\/strong><\/p><\/li>
