When an international student, temporary foreign worker, or permanent resident is scheduled for an interview with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), it is often a sign of serious underlying concerns that could impact their status in Canada. These concerns may pertain to potential inadmissibility, violations of immigration conditions, or broader issues of non-compliance. CBSA interviews can lead to significant immigration consequences, including removal from Canada. In such cases, it is critical to secure strategic legal guidance as early as possible. At Heron Law Offices, we provide focused and experienced representation for clients dealing with enforcement interviews.
