The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has issued a temporary suspension of removals to Lebanon. This measure is being taken given that the situation in Lebanon is volatile and unpredictable due to violence and escalating clashes, including daily rocket and missile attacks, as well as airstrikes.
The temporary suspension, known as an administrative deferral of removals (ADR), is imposed under subsection 230(1)(c) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, on countries that are considered unsafe due to conditions such as environmental disasters or acts of violence.
The SAR does not apply to persons who are inadmissible on grounds of criminality, serious criminality, violations of international or human rights laws, organized crime or security.
Once the situation in Lebanon has stabilized and circumstances no longer pose a generalized risk to the entire civilian population, the SAR will be lifted and the CBSA will resume removals for individuals who are inadmissible to Canada and subject to an enforceable removal order.
Quick Facts
By law, the CBSA has a duty to remove inadmissible persons as soon as possible. Every person subject to a removal order from Canada has the right to due process before the law. Once individuals have exhausted all legal avenues of appeal or due process, they must leave Canada or be removed. There are currently 15 SARs in place for countries around the world. This list is available on the CBSA website:Arrests, Detentions and Removals – Removal from Canada.
