Time is Critical in Immigration Detention Cases
When you or someone you know is detained, the clock starts ticking. Immigration detention cases move quickly, and without prompt action, the chances of a timely release decrease. If a previous detention review does not go well, the government lawyer will use it to their advantage for the next hearing.
Immediate legal support ensures that every possible step toward release is taken from day one, helping to avoid unnecessary detention time.
Building a Strong Case for Release from Day One
Our team’s early involvement means we can gather crucial evidence and present a compelling case right away.
From family or community support letters to financial or residential proof, we leave no stone unturned to ensure your release plan meets the court’s expectations and addresses any potential objections.
Challenging the Government’s Grounds for Detention
The government’s case for detention often includes reasons such as perceived flight risk or concerns about identity verification. We quickly evaluate and counter these claims, using our expertise in Minister’s Counsel strategies to challenge these arguments effectively.
Our team is available to answer questions, guide families on visitation rules, and assist with paperwork, making a difficult time easier to navigate.
What Happens After an Immigration Arrest?
When someone is taken into immigration detention, the process can be confusing and overwhelming.
Typically, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) conducts an initial assessment, where they decide whether to hold or release the individual.
If detention is continued, a detention review hearing must be held within 48 hours of arrest, and then every 7 or 30 days thereafter, depending on the case. Knowing these timelines and having legal support early on is crucial to ensure the best possible outcome.
Key Rights in Immigration Detention
Detainees in Canada have specific rights, and knowing these rights can make a significant difference. For example:
Right to Legal Representation: Detainees have the right to speak with a lawyer and receive legal advice.
Right to be Informed of Reasons for Detention: The CBSA must explain why they are holding you and provide information on the grounds of detention.
Right to Communication: Detainees can contact family and friends and arrange visits, subject to detention center rules.
Right to a Fair Detention Review Hearing: Detainees are entitled to periodic detention reviews, where they can present evidence for their release.
Our firm works to ensure that these rights are respected, advocating on your behalf at each step of the process.
The Role of the Immigration Division and Detention Review Hearings
Detention review hearings are conducted by the Immigration Division, which decides whether detention should continue or if conditions can be set for release.
At these hearings, the CBSA and the detainee (or their lawyer) present their arguments.
This is where having an experienced legal team is essential; we craft a release plan and counter arguments made by the CBSA, increasing the likelihood of a favorable decision.
Reasons for Detention and How We Address Them
The main grounds for detention often include:
Flight Risk: If the CBSA believes someone might not appear for future hearings.
Identity Concerns: If identity verification is pending.
Public Safety Concerns: If the CBSA argues there’s a risk to the public.
Each of these grounds requires a different approach. For example, if flight risk is cited, we can present evidence of stable family, employment, or community ties to demonstrate the detainee’s commitment to staying in Canada. If public safety is a concern, we provide character references and relevant background information to challenge that assessment.
How We Ensure Your Rights Are Protected
Our priority is to secure your release as quickly as possible while protecting your rights throughout the process.
We closely monitor all aspects of detention, ensuring no rights are overlooked, and take immediate action if any issues arise.
What is a Bondsperson?
A bondsperson is someone who promises to support and supervise a person in detention if they’re released. They agree to make sure the person follows all the rules set by the court. Often, the bondsperson puts down a financial bond, or a sum of money, as a guarantee that the person will show up for any future hearings and follow any other conditions.
Why Having a Bondsperson is Important
A bondsperson can make a big difference in getting someone out of detention because:
Flight Risk Concerns: The court worries that some people might not show up for future hearings. A bondsperson gives assurance by taking responsibility and putting money on the line.
Community Support: Having a bondsperson shows that the detainee has a stable support network. This makes the court feel more confident that the person will follow all the rules.
What Makes a Good Bondsperson?
The best bondsperson is someone with a strong, stable background, like steady work or property, and a clean legal record. A good bondsperson:
Has community ties, like a steady job or a home.
Can afford the financial bond if the court requires it.
Can be trusted to supervise the person and help them follow the rules.
What a Bondsperson Does to Help
A bondsperson doesn’t just sign papers—they play an active role. This can include:
Supervising the Detainee: The bondsperson may need to check in regularly with the detainee to help them stay on track with court conditions.
Communicating with the Court: They might need to keep the court updated if there are any issues.
Providing Financial Security: The bondsperson’s money on the line shows they believe in the person’s commitment to follow through.
Choosing the Right Bondsperson
The right bondsperson makes a strong case for release. Our team helps families pick a suitable bondsperson and makes sure they’re prepared. We gather all needed documents, like proof of employment and character references, to strengthen the case for release.
Having a reliable bondsperson can be the key to securing release from detention. With our support, you’ll have everything in place to present a strong case and increase the chances of freedom for yourself or your loved one
