Will the police contact immigration authorities?
If you call the police for help, they might contact immigration authorities to ask about your status. The police computer system will show if there is an immigration warrant for your arrest. Immigration authorities usually create a warrant if you:
- do not show up for a hearing or appointment with immigration officials
- had to leave Canada on a specific date but did not show up
If you do not have permanent resident status, talk to an immigration lawyer right away. See General legal services.
