Dear brother and sister, this question is asked by many people with immigration issues in the US. The issue is complex and requires extreme caution, as any misstep could harm your case or even result in you being banned from entering the US or Canada in the future.
Important Legal Notice : This article is for general information only and does not constitute legal advice. You should consult a qualified immigration attorney before making any decisions.
Legal Status: What happens when you have a case in court?
Your status in America
When you have an immigration case in a US court, it means you are in “removal proceedings.” A pending case delays your deportation until a final decision is made. This means you are temporarily protected from deportation, but it does not mean you are free to travel as you please.
Travel restrictions
When you have a case in court, there are often restrictions on your travel. There is no single rule in the US regarding this, and it depends on the paperwork issued by the court.
Applying for a Canadian visa from the US: Possibilities and risks
Can I apply?
Theoretically, you can apply for a Canadian visa while in the US, but there are major challenges:
Basic requirements for a Canadian visa:
- Valid passport
- Proof of sufficient funds
- No criminal record
- Proof of strong ties to your country of origin
- Proof that you will return after the visit
Problems you may encounter:
1. Transparency with Canadian authorities: You must be 100% honest in your visa application. Concealing your case in the US may be considered a lie and could result in your permanent refusal to enter Canada.
2. Legal status: Canada scrutinizes applicants’ legal status. Having a pending immigration case may make them suspicious of your intention to return.
3. Proof of ties: You must prove that you have strong reasons to return to your country of origin, and this is difficult when you are in immigration proceedings in the US.
Legal and practical risks
Risks to your case in America:
1. Violating the conditions of release. If the court has placed conditions on your release, traveling without permission may violate those conditions.
2. Failure to attend the hearings if you travel and are unable to return to the hearing may result in an in absentia order being issued against you.
3. Interpretation of intent: Authorities may interpret your attempted travel as an escape attempt, which could harm your case.
Risks with Canada:
1. Rejection and ban If it is discovered that you were not honest, you may be banned from entering Canada for years.
2. Any rejection will be recorded in the system and will affect future requests.
Alternatives and better solutions
Legally break the law:
1. Consult your lawyer first before anything else. Talk to your immigration lawyer and ask him about:
- Are there any travel restrictions in your case?
- Is it possible to get permission from the court to travel?
- What is the potential impact on your case?
2. Requesting travel permission from the court . In some cases, you may request permission from the immigration court to travel for humanitarian or emergency reasons.
3. Think about alternatives instead of traveling to Canada. You might consider:
- Solve your case in America first
- Finding legal ways to stay in America
- Communicating with parents in other ways
Very important tips
If you decide to continue on the topic:
1. Seek legal assistance. You must work with an immigration lawyer who specializes in both cases (USA and Canada).
2. Be completely honest. Any lie or concealment of information could ruin your chances in the future.
3. Keep all documents, any paper or correspondence that may be important later.
4. Understand the full risks. Know that there is a high probability of rejection and legal problems.
Possible scenarios
Scenario 1: Success (low probability)
- Get a Canadian visa
- Travel without problems
- Go back to America and complete your case
Scenario 2: Canadian rejection
- Canada rejects your application

- مش في مشاكل إضافية (لو ما خبيتش حاجة)
Scenario 3: Legal Problems

Scenario 4: Entry Denied

Bottom line and final advice
Dear brother, dear sister, the issue is fraught with more risks than opportunities. It’s best that you:
1. Focus on your case in America first. Resolving your immigration case should be your first priority.
2. Consult a specialized lawyer, not just any lawyer – a lawyer who specializes in complex immigration cases.
3. Be patient for a while. If your case is resolved positively, then you can travel to Canada without any problems.
4. Don’t risk your future. One wrong move could ruin your chances in America and Canada.
personal message
I know it’s difficult and psychologically exhausting. I know you need to see your family or change your atmosphere. But patience now is better than regretting it later.
Work with your lawyer, take things seriously, and if your case is resolved well, then you can travel anywhere in the world without worry.
Remember : The decision is yours in the end, but take all these considerations into account before you take any step.
