IMMIGRATION APPEALS

The Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) hears appeals on immigration-related matters, including residency obligations, sponsorships and removal orders. The Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) may allow an appeal and set aside an original decision based on the grounds of an error in law or fact, or of a breach of a principle of natural justice. In certain cases, the IAD may also give special relief on the basis of humanitarian and compassionate consideration in all the circumstances of the case, which includes taking into account the best interests of a child.
