Extradition

Extradition law governs a complex, international process that involves Canadian courts, the federal government, international law, and a significant number of international treaties.

Extradition is not deportation, which is an immigration law matter. Rather, extradition is the formal procedure where a foreign government requests that the Canadian government arrest and return a person who is in Canada, who is accused, or has been convicted of a crime in the foreign country making the request.
