If you or a loved one has been detained by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) for immigration-related reasons, you may have the right to request release through an Immigration Bail Hearing, formally known as a Detention Review. These hearings are conducted by the Immigration Division (ID) of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) and are your opportunity to argue for release from custody.
At Sunder Law, we represent individuals in immigration detention with urgency and precision. We prepare comprehensive release plans, propose suitable sureties or financial deposits, and advocate for your freedom while your immigration matter is resolved.
We act quickly to gather essential details, prepare submissions, and coordinate with your family or support network to propose a viable release plan within the short timelines mandated for detention reviews.
We represent you in the detention review hearing, challenging the basis for your continued detention and arguing for release based on legal, humanitarian, and procedural grounds.
Our team works with potential sureties, prepares necessary financial documents, and develops a structured plan that addresses CBSA’s concerns about flight risk or public safety.
We ensure you understand and comply with all conditions of release, minimizing the risk of re-detention and supporting you through the next stage of your immigration process.
An immigration bail hearing, or detention review, is a proceeding before the Immigration Division where a detained person can argue for their release from immigration custody.
Common reasons include concerns that the person may not appear for immigration proceedings, poses a public safety risk, or cannot prove their identity.
