Ministerial Relief

• There is an avenue of relief for those found inadmissible to Canada on the most serious grounds of inadmissibility
• Section 42.1(1) provides an avenue for relief for most of the provisions within s.34/35/37
• Some will call this relief more illusory than real; the process may take many years and more than one kick at the can
• There is no statutory stay of removal while the application for ministerial relief is under review
• This is no area for amateurs -if you are facing allegations of inadmissibility under the most serious grounds of inadmissibility then you need to talk to experienced legal counsel
