What happens if Canada receives an extradition request while I am challenging the underlying Red Notice?

These are parallel but separate proceedings. Canada’s Minister of Justice evaluates extradition requests under the Extradition Act independently of Interpol’s review. A pending CCF challenge does not automatically suspend Canadian extradition hearings. However, evidence submitted to the CCF — such as proof of political motivation or fair-trial concerns — can strengthen defences before the Superior Court of Justice. Coordinating both strategies is critical: a favourable CCF ruling may influence the Minister’s final surrender decision, but timing must be carefully managed to avoid procedural conflicts.
