Immigration Appeal Division — conditions

🍁 In Simple Terms

When the Immigration Appeal Division stays a removal order, these conditions come with the stay. Tell CBSA and the Division in advance before your address changes, give CBSA a copy of your passport and travel documents or complete an application if you hold none, renew those documents before they expire and send in the copy, commit no offences, and report any charge or conviction in writing without delay. Breaking these is what usually brings a stayed removal back to life.
