Refugee Claimant CBSA Inadmissibility Hearing by DUI Charge

[gordonex]

Hello,
This is my first post. I am a refugee claimant living in Toronto, Ontario.

My refugee hearing was delayed because of an incident that occurred on May 6, 2023. Ultimately resulting in my DUI charge on March 19, 2024. During the court process I received a letter stating that my application for my refugee status was placed on hold.

The charge is 320.14(1)(b) Impaired driving/operation over 80 bac, a hybrid offence, but The Crown elected summarily.

And I received the CBSA inadmissibility hearing letter and e-mail three days before.

What should I expect during the hearing ?

What normally happens during a hearing?

Has anyone had the same experience as me, and if so, are you willing to share your experience?

Is there anything I can do to prepare for my CBSA hearing? Are there any actions I can do before this hearing?

Thanks for all answers,

Hi Scylla,

I got My deportation letter on CBSA appointment and I talked to my lawyer after, who was doing my refugee case.

His opinion; Judicial review will not work. And costly. We should wait for PRRA.

Is it proper way to do? Or do I need to consult any other lawyer?

Thank you so much.

I don't know. This is beyond my level of knowledge.

where are you from because PPRA approval rates are very low except a few counties? You can also end up in limbo with approved PPRA and inadmissibility. You need an immigration lawyer who will work with your criminal lawyer.
