Federal Court of Appeal
Desjardins, Noël and Pelletier, JJ.A.
March 16, 2007.
Summary:
A Mexican mother and her two children applied for the judicial review of a decision of a removal officer not to grant them the statutory stay provided for by s. 50(a) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (Can.).
The Federal Court, in a decision reported 289 F.T.R. 77, allowed the application with respect to one of the children. The Minister of Citizenship and Immigration appealed.
The Federal Court of Appeal allowed the appeal.
Aliens - Topic 1798
Exclusion and expulsion - Deportation and exclusion of persons in Canada - Deportation or removal order - Execution precluded where another judicial order would be violated - The Quebec Court of Appeal issued an order that dismissed an application, pursuant to the Act respecting the Civil Aspects of International and Interprovincial Child Abduction (Que.) (ACAIICA), for the return of a child, Rodolfo, to Mexico - However, Rodolfo, his mother and a sibling, faced removal from Canada, under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (Can.) (IRPA) - The removal officer refused their application for a stay of removal under s. 50(a) IRPA - A motions judge held that the removal officer was bound to abide by the temporary stay provided for by s. 50(a) IRPA since the Court of Appeal's judgment had a direct effect on the removal order - The Federal Court of Appeal reversed this decision - An order from a provincial court that refused to order the return of a child pursuant to the Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction and s. 20 ACAIICA, did not prevent the enforcement of an already effective removal order under IRPA.
