Effect of certificate

Effect of certificate

🍁 In Simple Terms

Once a security certificate is confirmed as valid by a court, it's treated as final proof that the person named in it cannot stay in Canada — and it automatically becomes a deportation order. No further hearings or examinations are needed.

Affects: Immigration applicants (economic, family, humanitarian)
Legal Text — IRPA Section 80

80 A certificate that is determined to be reasonable is conclusive proof that the person named in it is inadmissible and is a removal order that is in force without it being necessary to hold or continue an examination or admissibility hearing.
