When is a client removal ready?
For the purposes of this public policy, by the time an applicant attends a pre-removal interview,
he/she is generally removal ready. This means that a client who has been called to a pre-removal
interview by any means (letter, call etc.) and who has not already applied as a spousal H&C
applicant or a Spouse or Common-law Partner in Canada class applicant, cannot, from the point
they are called to the interview forward, benefit from an administrative deferral of removal as
outlined in this public policy except in the limited circumstances outlined below (transitional
cases).
As is the case now, clients with a pending H&C application who are removed from Canada while
their application is being considered will be able to return to Canada if a positive decision is
rendered.
