Description

The Enforcement and Compliance framework outlines procedures for identifying and managing prohibited persons, including those with criminal records, health risks, or improper documentation. Immigration officers are empowered to search, detain, and deport individuals without continuing rights. The Act details grounds for permit cancellation, refusal of entry, and seizure of documents. It also prescribes penalties for immigration offences, including fines and imprisonment. Special provisions address victims of trafficking, asylum-seekers, and stranded persons. Administrative fines may be issued in lieu of prosecution. The framework emphasizes lawful, humane enforcement while safeguarding national security and public order.
