437: No deportation liability if deportation prohibited under former Act

You could also call this:

“No deportation if previously protected under old Immigration Act”

You cannot be deported if your deportation was not allowed under section 93 of the old Immigration Act. This rule still applies even though there is a new Immigration Act. The new Act does not change this protection for you.
