IRPRPART 14 Detention and ReleaseDIVISION 2 Specified Removal Order
r.247

Identity not established

🍁 In Simple Terms

When deciding whether to detain someone whose identity can't be confirmed, officers consider how cooperative the person has been — whether they've provided documents, answered questions truthfully, given accurate personal details, and helped obtain travel documents. A lack of cooperation weighs in favour of continued detention.

Affects: Foreign nationals and permanent residents in Canada
