A PR's spouse and 4-year-old child lived in Canada while the PR returned to their home country to work. Upon re-entering Canada, the PR was issued a removal order for breaching their residency obligation. They approach an RCIC to inquire about possible grounds for appealing the removal order at the IAD. What should the RCIC advise the client to do?
Request H&C considerations to address the breach.
In this scenario, the Permanent Resident (PR) has a legitimate reason to appeal the removal order based on Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) grounds, especially since their spouse and child are residing in Canada. This approach can provide context for the PR's situation and potentially mitigate the impact of the residency obligation breach.
While challenging the validity of the removal order may seem like a valid option, it does not address the specific circumstances of the PR's case. The removal order is based on the PR's failure to meet residency obligations, and simply disputing the order without presenting H&C factors would likely not succeed unless there was a clear legal error in the process.
Proving that the facts were misinterpreted could be difficult without substantial evidence showing that the decision-maker misunderstood key elements of the case. This option does not consider the broader context of the PR's family situation that could warrant an H&C appeal, making it less effective in this case.
While it is important to ensure that principles of natural justice are upheld, proving a violation in this context may not directly relate to the residency obligation breach. This option may not resonate with the specific circumstances of the PR's family situation, which is better addressed through H&C considerations.
H&C considerations allow for a more personalized appeal, taking into account the impact of the removal order on the PR’s family life in Canada. This approach can highlight compassionate factors that justify the PR's circumstances and provide a stronger basis for appeal.
In cases of residency obligation breaches, presenting H&C considerations is often the most effective strategy for appealing a removal order. It allows the PR to contextualize their situation, emphasizing family ties and other compassionate factors that may influence the decision-making process at the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD). This approach can provide a pathway to remain in Canada despite the breach, acknowledging the human element involved in immigration matters.
