Deportation is one of the most serious legal actions the Canadian government can take against a non-citizen. For those facing the potential of forced removal, deportation also has life-changing repercussions that can divide families and disrupt the stability you’ve worked so hard to establish. 

While many assume that deportation only affects undocumented individuals or recent arrivals, the reality is much more complex. In Canada, even long-term permanent residents or individuals with deep roots in the community can face removal. If you or someone you love are facing the threat of deportation, the time to act is now. 

At Vayeghan Litigation, we’re here to defend your right to remain in Canada. Our team is experienced in handling a wide range of immigration issues, including deportation and removal orders. Learn more about what you need to know below. 

Who Can Be Deported from Canada?

Deportation in Canada refers to the formal removal of a non-citizen from the country by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). In addition to those residing in the country illegallyt

You can be removed from Canada if you are:

• A permanent resident found inadmissible for serious criminality, misrepresentation, or failing to meet residency obligations.
  
• A temporary resident (visitor, student, or worker) who has violated the terms of their stay, or is deemed criminally inadmissible.
  
• An individual whose refugee claim or immigration appeal has been refused.
  
• Someone who overstayed a visa or remained in Canada without status.
  

In each case, the consequences are serious: deportation can mean being separated from your family, losing access to healthcare or work, and being barred from returning to Canada for years. Don’t risk your future, GET HELP NOW.

Unique Deportation Scenarios in Canada

Every deportation case is unique, but regardless of the circumstances, the matter is extremely time-sensitive. At Vayeghan Litigation, we regularly assist clients dealing with complex and time-sensitive situations, including:

1. Permanent Residents Facing Removal After Criminal Charges

Many people are shocked to learn that permanent resident status doesn’t guarantee protection from deportation. A conviction for a criminal offence—especially if considered “serious criminality” under immigration law—can lead to removal proceedings, even if you have lived in Canada for decades.

2. Deportation for Misrepresentation

Providing false or incomplete information in an immigration application, intentionally or by mistake, can result in being found inadmissible..

3. Breakdown of a Sponsorship Relationship

If your immigration status is tied to a family sponsorship (such as a spouse or common-law partner), the end of that relationship can lead to complications. In some cases, the sponsored person may lose their ability to remain in Canada and face removal proceedings.

4. Visa Overstays and Lost Status

Many people unintentionally overstay a visa or fail to renew their permits on time. Unfortunately, these situations can lead to sudden enforcement actions by CBSA, including arrest and detention.

5. Denied Refugee Claims After Years in Canada

Some individuals wait years for a decision on their refugee claim. If claims are refused, they may face removal despite having made Canada their home.

The Urgency of Deportation Cases

Few people realize just how quickly deportation matters can move. Once a removal order is issued, individuals may have only days to respond. Some are detained by CBSA without warning and face the risk of being removed before they’ve had the chance to present their case fully.

In such situations, time is everything. Missing a deadline can mean losing your right to appeal. That’s why it’s critical to contact a deportation lawyer as soon as possible.

How a Deportation Lawyer Can Help

Deportation cases require fast, strategic action. Experienced lawyers like the team at Vayeghan Litigation can help fight for your rights by:

• Applying for a stay of removal to stop deportation while your case is reviewed.

• Seeking a judicial review
  
• Submitting an H&C (Humanitarian and Compassionate) application based on hardship or family ties in Canada.
