Section 103 — Immigration and Refugee Protection Act: Suspension

Proceedings of the Refugee Protection Division in respect of a claim for refugee protection are suspended on notice by an officer that the matter has been referred to the Immigration Division to determine whether the claimant is inadmissible on grounds of security, violating human or international rights, serious criminality or organized criminality; or an officer considers it necessary to wait for a decision of a court with respect to a claimant who is charged with an offence under an Act of Parliament that may be punished by a maximum term of imprisonment of at least 10 years. On notice by an officer that the suspended claim was determined to be eligible, proceedings of the Refugee Protection Division must continue.
