Immigration Debt Definition

The term immigration debt typically refers to money that is owed to the Canadian government due to various immigration-related expenses that were previously incurred by an immigrant to Canada.  An immigration debt can include costs such as transportation loans for travel to Canada, medical costs that were paid on behalf of the immigrant, or any other financial assistance provided by the government that must be repaid.  A person with an outstanding immigration debt may be unable to act as an immigration sponsor for a family member.  A person with an immigration debt may also be directly impacted.
