Immigration Corner | Husband ordered to leave Canada



Immigration Corner | Husband ordered to leave Canada:

Dear Ms Powell,
My husband was in Canada and was ordered to leave. He came back to Jamaica and we started a business and it is doing well. We want to visit Canada again, but I spoke with someone who said he and I may be considered inadmissible to Canada. Is this true? How do we get permission to visit Canada without any hassle?
- TT
Dear TT,
Individuals may be asked to leave Canada and therefore be deemed inadmissible for various reasons. The main categories of inadmissibility are security concerns, human or international rights violations, organised criminality, serious criminality, health, financial misrepresentation, noncompliance, and inadmissibility of a family member.
Based on these rules, your husband's actions can have a negative impact on you, especially if you plan to travel to Canada at the same time.
The steps will be based on the type of order and the reason the order was issued.
A removal order does not automatically mean that your husband and the rest of the family cannot return to Canada in the future. The key issue is what kind of order was issued, how long has passed since the order was issued, your reason for wanting to visit Canada, and your financial activities. Your husband will need to show strong emotional, financial, and social ties to Jamaica.
If an individual is the subject of a departure order or a direction to leave and he left Canada within 30 days after the departure order was issued, he may be authorised to enter Canada provided he still has a valid temporary resident or visitor's visa. You will both be subject to the normal examination at the port of entry, and no additional application is required prior to departure from Jamaica.
An individual who has been removed as a result of an exclusion order cannot return to Canada before 12 months has passed without written permission from Canadian authorities. Once the one year has passed, the individual may return to Canada on a valid visa but expect the usual examination at the port of entry.
If a deportation order was issued, this has a permanent effect of barring an individual from returning to Canada without special permission, and a well-drafted application will need to be submitted along with the requisite fee to the visa application centre in Jamaica.
A key issue is when your husband left and the amount of time that has passed since he left. Another important issue is that once an individual is the subject of a deportation order, he must confirm his departure with the authorities. Failure to report departure could result in the Canadian authorities issuing a more serious order, making re-entry more difficult.

 Book an appointment with an immigration lawyer to advise you on the finer details of your case.

Immigration Corner | Do I need a police report?

Immigration Corner | Do I need a police report? : Dear Ms Powell, I want to apply to live in Canada and I was told that I will need to have police records from all the countries that I've visited. I attended school in the USA and only spent three summer vacations with my aunt in Canada and returned to the USA each time. I also went on a youth programme in the UK. I visited again a few times since. Do I need a police report from all these countries? How would I go about getting the reports? Do I need to have these reports before I apply? - S.E.

Immigration Corner | Can my granddaughter sponsor me?

Dear Miss Powell, My granddaughter lives in Canada. Can she file for me? My daughter died recently and I don't have any other relatives here in Jamaica. I'm retired and she is 28, married, with one child. I think I could be helpful to her, plus it would be a joy to just be close to my granddaughter and her family. SW Dear SW, If your granddaughter is a permanent resident or a citizen of Canada, she can sponsor you to become a permanent resident of Canada under the family class category of parent and grandparent sponsorship. Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has limited the number of applications that it will accept on an annual basis to 10,000. The quota is currently full; however, the programme will be reopened on January 3, 2017. Therefore, now is the time to prepare your documents so that you can submit them promptly when they begin accepting applications. Your granddaughter must prove that she is financially able to sponsor you. This means th...
