Class

🍁 In Simple Terms

Once your file is referred to the Immigration Division, showing up is not optional. This rule creates the group of people who have been referred for an admissibility hearing and makes attendance a legal duty as soon as the Division sends notice. Skipping it pauses nothing; the hearing can go ahead without you in the room.

Affects: Foreign nationals and permanent residents in Canada
