What is An “Entry for Further Examination”?
An “Entry for Further Examination” refers to a process that may take place at a Canadian port of entry or within Canada when a foreign national seeks entry into the country.
“Entry for Further Examination” occurs when a Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) officer determines that further examination is required to determine the admissibility of a person seeking entry to Canada. This may be due to concerns about the person’s admissibility, such as potential criminality, security risks, or other reasons that require additional scrutiny.
During these processes, the individual will have the opportunity to present their case, provide evidence, and address any concerns regarding their admissibility to Canada. The decision regarding admissibility will be made based on the evidence presented and relevant immigration laws and regulations.
It’s important to note that these processes are part of Canada’s immigration and border security measures to ensure the integrity of the immigration system and the safety and security of the country.
