DETENTION REVIEW

If you are a foreign national or a Permanent Resident of Canada and you have breached immigration rules and regulations, you may be detained in an immigration holding centre. After your detention, you will be entitled to a detention review within 48 hours at the detention centre. If you are not released, you will be entitled to a seven day detention review and once a month going forward if you are not released.

At a detention review, you will need to demonstrate that you are not a flight risk in order to be released. The Board Member and Canada Border Services Agency might also require that you have bondsperson in order to release you.
