Immigration Detention
Canada’s continued incarceration of immigrants in maximum security prisons is abhorrent. We are committed to advocating for those being held in immigration detention. Some remain detained for years without charge; a clear violation of our international obligations, of human rights and our own Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
We provide expert representation at detention reviews while also ensuring that detainees understand their rights and options. We help them navigate the immigration detention process including communicating with bondspersons and the Toronto Bail Program to create suitable release plans. We also undertake Habeus Corpus applications in Superior Court or judicial reviews in Federal Court in cases where release is unreasonably being denied.
Federal Court Litigation
We specialize in Federal Court Litigation and have been successful in a number of applications for judicial review. We also have extensive experience in litigating Motions for a Stay of Removal to halt deportation proceedings.

- race
- ethnic origin
- colour

- age
- religion
- gender
- sexual orientation
