Deportation Defense Lawyers in Quebec

Facing removal from Canada and living in or near Quebec? Below you can see who takes these files, their rates and open times, and book a consultation online. Removal is federal: the same rules apply in Quebec as anywhere in Canada, and most deadlines run from the day you receive a decision or notice.

Deportation defense lawyers in Quebec: what to do right away

• Read your papers and note every date: removal interview, removal date, hearing.
• Show up to every CBSA appointment. Missing one can lead to a Canada-wide arrest warrant.
• Gather the order, all letters from the CBSA, IRCC or IRB, your passport and proof of your ties to Canada.
• Book a consultation before your deadline, not after it.

Deadlines that apply to you

• Appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division: received within 30 days after you receive the removal order, if you have a right of appeal.
• Pre-removal risk assessment: 15 days if the CBSA hands you the forms, 22 days if they are mailed.
• Federal Court: application for leave within 15 days for a decision made in Canada.

Details on these steps are on the CBSA and IRB websites.

Which order did you receive?

A departure order lets you return later if you leave within 30 days and confirm your exit with the CBSA. An exclusion order bars you for one year (five for misrepresentation), and a deportation order bars you permanently, unless you obtain an Authorization to Return to Canada.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a lawyer based in Quebec?

Not necessarily. These are federal proceedings, and many consultations can happen online. What matters most is availability before your deadline.

Will booking a lawyer stop my removal?

No. Only a decision such as a stay ends or pauses a removal. A lawyer can tell you which options are open in your case.
