Immediate Representation When Someone You Love Is Detained
Immigration detention can happen at a port of entry or following an arrest. IRCC can detain people for flight risk, danger to the public, identity concerns, or pending inadmissibility. The Immigration Division reviews detention at 48 hours, 7 days, and every 30 days. We provide immediate representation at every review — advocating for release with appropriate conditions.
