A PR was detained by CBSA after prohibited explicit material was found on their electronic device at the POE. The PR denies any knowledge of the material and claims their friend had been using their device. They are being held in detention at an immigration holding centre. The PR wants to know what can be done for their release. What should the RCIC recommend?

While consulting a criminal lawyer may be beneficial for understanding the legal implications of having prohibited material, it does not directly address the immediate concern of securing the PR's release from immigration detention. This option focuses primarily on criminal defense rather than immigration remedies.

Humanitarian and compassionate (H&C) grounds can occasionally be invoked for release, but they are typically reserved for more severe circumstances such as extreme hardship or risk of persecution. In this case, the PR's argument does not strongly align with H&C criteria, making this option less likely to succeed.

Educational rights do not typically pertain to immigration detention situations, and this argument would likely not be persuasive in the context of the legal issues surrounding the prohibited material. This option lacks relevance to the circumstances at hand and would not support the PR's case effectively.
