The CBSA will provide notice of its determinations on July 22, 2022. The Tribunal will issue its order and its statement of reasons no later than December 29, 2022.

Each person or government wishing to participate in this expiry review must file Form I – Notice of Participation with the Tribunal, on or before August 8, 2022.

Given the evolving COVID-19 situation, more information will be communicated at a later date. If there are no opposing parties, the Tribunal may explore the possibility of holding a file hearing, that is, a hearing through written submissions only, instead of an oral hearing.
