Defending Your Right to Remain in Canada
An Admissibility Hearing is held when the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) believes a person is inadmissible to Canada—due to alleged criminality, misrepresentation, security concerns, or non-compliance with immigration law. These hearings are conducted before the Immigration Division (ID) of the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) and can lead to a removal order if not properly contested.
At Sunder Law, we represent clients in admissibility hearings with a focused defense strategy. We challenge evidence presented by CBSA, protect your procedural rights, and advocate to prevent a removal order from being issued. These hearings can carry serious consequences—immediate legal support is critical.
