An inadmissibility report written about one person also counts as a report about their family members in Canada. A removal order can extend to those family members too, but only where an officer told them about the report, told them they are part of the admissibility hearing and can be represented at their own expense, and the Immigration Division actually found them inadmissible on that basis. Notice is the safeguard here, not a formality.
(1)For the purposes of section 42 of the Act, a report prepared under subsection 44(1) of the Act against a foreign national is also a report against the foreign national’s family members in Canada.
(2)A removal order made by the Immigration Division against a foreign national is also a removal order against their family members in Canada to whom subsection (1) applies if (a)an officer informed the family members of the report, that they are the subject of an admissibility hearing and of their right to make submissions and be represented, at their own expense, at the admissibility hearing; and (b)the family members are subject to a decision of the Immigration Division that they are inadmissible under section 42 of the Act on grounds of the inadmissibility of the foreign national.
