Deferral of Removal
Our Ottawa immigration and refugee lawyers at Gerami Law PC work with clients to help them in the process of deferring removal orders. We first put forward a request with the Canada Border Services (CBSA) officer handling the matter to asking him/her to postpone the date of the removal to a later date to allow sufficient time for our clients to attend to immediate matters, such as allowing their children to complete the school year, selling their assets, or allowing a pending Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) application or spousal sponsorship application to be decided.
We also facilitate other processes such as helping our clients appeal to the Federal Court for a Review of the Pre-removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) decision rendered by the CBSA officer. When the deportation appeal process is finalized, we help the clients with the process of submitting an emergency motion for a stay of removal, since the Federal Court has power vested in it to order a removal order to be halted. As motions before the Federal Court follow intricate procedural and evidentiary rules, it is important that our clients contact us immediately in order to comply with the Federal Court’s stringent time limits.
