436: Person subject to residence and reporting requirements under former Act
or “Rules about living and reporting from old immigration law still apply to some people”

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.
