If your immigration application has been refused, here’s how the appeal process typically works:

  1. You receive a refusal letter from IRCC or CBSA.

  2. We review the reasons for refusal and determine if an appeal or judicial review is possible.

  3. We file the appeal—whether to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) or the Federal Court of Canada, depending on your case.

  4. We fight the decision in court, arguing why the refusal was unfair or legally flawed.

  5. The court may send your case back for reconsideration or order a new decision—sometimes, your application is even granted outright.

âť“ Frequently Asked Questions About Immigration Appeals

đź•’ How long does an immigration appeal take?
It depends on the type of appeal. A judicial review at the Federal Court may take 3–6 months, while an Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) hearing could take longer. We can give you a realistic timeline based on your case.

🇨🇦 Can I stay in Canada while my appeal is in progress?
In many cases, yes. For example, if you’re appealing a removal order or filing for a stay of removal, you may be allowed to remain in Canada while the court makes a decision.

đź“‘ Can I submit new evidence in my appeal?
It depends on the appeal type. At the IAD, you can present new evidence. At the Federal Court (judicial review), you’re limited to the evidence submitted with your original application.

âť—What if I missed the appeal deadline?
You may still have options—like asking the court to extend the time or filing a new application. But time is critical. Contact us right away.

Spousal Sponsorship Refused? Here's How to Appeal

If your spousal sponsorship application was refused, you may still have a chance to reunite with your partner in Canada. The appeal route depends on how your original application was submitted:

🔹 Inland Sponsorship (Spouse Inside Canada) → Your only option is a judicial review at the Federal Court of Canada.
🔹 Outland Sponsorship (Spouse Outside Canada) → You can appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD).

✅ Outland Sponsorship Appeals – Immigration Appeal Division (IAD)

An IAD appeal is a full hearing where three parties are present:

  • An IAD Member (similar to a judge)

  • Minister’s counsel (a government lawyer defending the refusal)

  • Your immigration appeal lawyer

🧠 What to Expect at the Hearing
You, your spouse, and any witnesses will testify. The hearing usually focuses on:

  • Genuineness of the relationship

  • Consistency in your application

  • Detailed questions about your life as a couple

  • Specific concerns from the refusal letter

Even small contradictions can lead to a denial. That's why preparing thoroughly with an experienced immigration lawyer is critical.

📑 Inland Sponsorship Appeals – Judicial Review at Federal Court

If your inland application was refused, you cannot appeal to the IAD. Instead, you must file a judicial review with the Federal Court. This is a paper-based legal challenge—no live testimony, no new evidence.

đź“ť Two Stages of a Judicial Review:

  1. Written Legal Arguments

    • We prepare a detailed submission outlining the legal errors in the refusal.

    • The government files a response.

    • We file a final reply.

  2. Judge’s Decision

    • If the judge agrees that the decision was unreasonable, they’ll send it back to IRCC for reconsideration.

    • If not, the decision stands.

You won't have to appear in court—but your lawyer’s written advocacy must be precise and persuasive. This is why experience matters.

âť— What If You Lose or Decide Not to Appeal?

  • Lost an IAD appeal? You can’t re-sponsor unless you bring new evidence or facts.

  • Lost a judicial review? You can reapply—but your new application must correct any weaknesses.

  • Missteps can be costly: Submitting a second application without addressing the previous issues can lead to another refusal—or worse, a 5-year misrepresentation ban.

⚠️ Avoid costly mistakes. Whether you decide to appeal or reapply, get legal advice first. We’ll help you make the right call.

🛂 Residency Obligation Appeal – Don’t Lose Your Permanent Resident Status

If IRCC says you haven’t met your residency obligation, your permanent resident (PR) status may be at risk. But a refusal doesn’t have to be final—you have the right to appeal.

đź“… What Is the Canadian Residency Obligation?

As a PR, you must be physically present in Canada for at least 730 days within the last 5 years. Failing to meet this 730-day rule can result in the loss of your PR status, especially if:

  • You applied for a travel document from outside Canada

  • You were issued a removal order while inside Canada

đź‘Ą Who Can Appeal a Residency Obligation Refusal?

âś… Outside Canada
If you were denied a travel document because you didn’t meet the obligation, you can appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD).

âś… Inside Canada
If you were issued a removal order for failing the residency requirement, you can file a removal order appeal to the IAD.

🏛️ What Happens at the Residency Obligation Appeal Hearing?

At the IAD hearing, you’ll appear with:

  • An Immigration Member (like a judge)

  • Minister’s counsel (a government lawyer)

  • Your immigration appeal lawyer

You’ll need to explain why you couldn’t meet the 730-day requirement and show why you should be allowed to keep your status.

đź’ˇ How to Win a Residency Obligation Appeal

Success often depends on the following:

âś… Hardship to You or Your Family
Health, education, or financial hardship if PR status is lost

âś… Strong Settlement in Canada
Family, work, home ownership, or community ties

âś… Compassionate Grounds
Medical emergencies, COVID-related travel issues, or caring for family abroad

👨‍⚖️ Why Legal Help Matters

These cases are often complex and emotional. We know what evidence wins and how to present your story in a compelling way.

⚖️ Criminal Inadmissibility Appeal – Protect Your Permanent Resident Status

If you're a permanent resident in Canada and have been found criminally inadmissible, you could face a removal order. But not every case is final. Depending on the seriousness of the offence, you may be able to appeal—and stay in Canada.

âś… Step 1: Are You Eligible to Appeal to the IAD?

To appeal a removal order based on criminal inadmissibility, you must meet certain criteria.

You can appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) if:

  • Your conviction was not for a “serious criminal offence” (i.e., the sentence was less than six months or the crime carries a maximum penalty of under 10 years in Canada).

You cannot appeal to the IAD if:

  • You were convicted of a serious crime carrying a sentence of 6 months or more

  • In this case, your only option is a judicial review at the Federal Court

🏛️ Step 2: The IAD Appeal Process

If eligible, your case will be heard by the IAD, alongside:

  • An IAD Member (decision-maker)

  • Minister’s counsel (representing the government)

  • Your immigration lawyer

During the hearing, we present arguments based on:

âś… Humanitarian & Compassionate Grounds
Your background, rehabilitation, and efforts to rebuild your life in Canada

âś… Hardship if Deported
Emotional, financial, medical, or family hardship to you or your loved ones

âś… Your Establishment in Canada
Years of residence, employment history, community involvement, and family ties

âś… Best Interests of the Child (BIOC)
If children are involved, their well-being and future in Canada are critically assessed

đź“ť If successful, the IAD may:

  • Stay the removal order with conditions, allowing you to remain in Canada

  • Cancel the order entirely, letting you keep your PR status

🧾 Step 3: If You’re Not Eligible – Judicial Review at Federal Court

If you can’t appeal to the IAD, you may challenge the removal through a judicial review in Federal Court. This is not a new hearing. The judge will only assess whether the decision was:

  • Fair

  • Legally sound

  • Reasonably made

You cannot provide new evidence or testify—everything is decided on written legal arguments and affidavits. This process requires a skilled immigration lawyer who understands how to frame strong legal grounds for review.

🚨 Why Legal Help Is Critical

Fighting a criminal inadmissibility removal order is complex, emotionally difficult, and high stakes. You need someone who understands both immigration law and court procedure.

⚠️ Misrepresentation Appeal – Don’t Let a Mistake Cost You Your Status

Have you been accused of misrepresentation on your immigration application? Whether intentional or not, even an honest mistake can lead to:

  • Loss of permanent resident status

  • Refusal of your immigration application

  • A 5-year ban from reapplying

  • A removal order from Canada

âť“ What Is Misrepresentation in Canadian Immigration?

Misrepresentation occurs when you provide false, misleading, or incomplete information to IRCC or CBSA—even if it was unintentional. Examples include:

  • Forgetting to disclose a previous visa refusal

  • Failing to mention a dependent

  • Using incorrect documents

  • Relying on an unqualified or dishonest consultant

🧷 Permanent Residents – You May Appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD)

If you are a permanent resident who received a removal order for misrepresentation, you can appeal to the IAD. At your hearing, the board will consider:

âś… Humanitarian & Compassionate Grounds
Hardship to you and your family if you're removed from Canada

âś… Establishment in Canada
Work history, length of residence, family ties, and community support

âś… Best Interests of the Child (BIOC)
If you have children in Canada, their stability and well-being will be a major factor

👨‍⚖️ At the IAD hearing, you will be represented alongside:

  • An Immigration Member (decision-maker)

  • A Minister’s counsel (government lawyer)

  • Your immigration lawyer

Appeals to the IAD are also available to:

  • Sponsors whose applications were refused due to misrepresentation

  • Protected persons, Convention refugees, or PR visa holders facing removal

  • The Minister, in rare cases, who may challenge a finding in your favour

🚫 Temporary Residents – You Must File for Judicial Review

If you are a visitor, student, or temporary worker, you cannot appeal to the IAD. Instead, you must challenge the refusal through a judicial review in the Federal Court of Canada.

đź“‘ Judicial Review for Misrepresentation:

  • No live hearing or new evidence

  • Based strictly on written submissions and affidavits

  • The judge decides if the officer acted fairly and reasonably—not whether they were right

Judicial reviews are complex and technical. Your success depends on strong legal writing and strategy—not oral arguments.

đź”’ Why Legal Representation Matters

Misrepresentation cases are high risk. A single misstep can result in long-term consequences, including permanent bars from Canada.

Whether you're appealing to the IAD or seeking judicial review, you need a lawyer who understands the law, the courts, and how to protect your future.

📞 Contact us today for a free consultation. We’ll help you understand your options and fight back against your misrepresentation finding.

⚖️ Judicial Review vs. Immigration Appeal – What’s the Right Path for You?

If your immigration application was refused, the next step depends on what kind of application you submitted—and why it was refused.

You’ll either file a judicial review in the Federal Court of Canada or submit an appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD).

Let’s break down the difference:

🧭 When Can You Appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD)?

The IAD hears appeals in specific immigration matters, including:

âś… Spousal sponsorship refusals (outland applications)
âś… Residency obligation determinations
âś… Removal orders against permanent residents
âś… Criminal inadmissibility cases (if eligible)
âś… Misrepresentation cases (for PRs)

🔍 Key Features of an IAD Appeal:

  • Full hearing where new evidence and witnesses are allowed

  • Focuses on humanitarian and compassionate grounds, hardship, and settlement in Canada

  • The IAD can:

    • Cancel the removal order

    • Stay it with conditions

    • Uphold the decision

🏛️ What Is a Judicial Review (Federal Court)?

If your case doesn’t qualify for an IAD appeal—like a visa refusal, inland spousal sponsorship, PRRA refusal, or study/work permit rejection—you can file a judicial review.

đź“‘ Key Features of Judicial Review:

  • No new evidence or testimony allowed

  • Based strictly on the record of the original application

  • Focuses on whether the decision was procedurally fair and legally reasonable

  • Possible outcomes:

    • Dismissal (decision stands)

    • Returned to IRCC for reconsideration by a new officer

👨‍⚖️ Why It’s Crucial to Choose the Right Legal Strategy

Your chances of success depend on:

  • Picking the right forum

  • Knowing what arguments can be made (legal vs. compassionate)

  • Having a lawyer who understands how to structure strong submissions

📞 Contact us today for a free consultation. We’ll assess your refusal, explain your options, and guide you through the IAD appeal or judicial review process.

🛡️ Refugee Appeal – Don’t Give Up If Your Claim Was Refused

If your refugee claim was refused, you still have hope. You may be eligible to appeal the decision to the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD)—giving you another chance to prove that returning to your home country would put you at risk of serious harm or persecution.

đź“Ł Why Appeal a Refused Refugee Claim?

Filing a refugee appeal gives you the opportunity to:

âś… Challenge errors in the original decision
✅ Submit new evidence that wasn’t available during your first hearing
âś… Strengthen your claim to protection in Canada
✅ Delay removal—you cannot be deported while your RAD appeal is pending

🧾 How the Refugee Appeal Process Works

  • RAD appeals are based on written submissions—you don’t appear in court

  • A RAD Member will review your documents, arguments, and new evidence

  • A decision is made based on the merits of your written case

That’s why it’s critical to submit a strong, well-organized appeal. Even small mistakes can lead to rejection.

👨‍💼 Why You Need a Lawyer for Your RAD Appeal

Refugee appeals involve complex legal analysis. Our team will:

âś… Review your refusal reasons
âś… Identify legal or factual errors
âś… Help gather and organize new evidence
âś… Draft persuasive legal arguments tailored to your case

📞 Don’t Risk Your Safety – Get Legal Help Today

❌ Visa or Work/Study Permit Refused? We Can Help You Challenge the Decision

If your visitor visa, study permit, or work permit was refused by IRCC, you may still have a path forward. A judicial review at the Federal Court of Canada gives you the opportunity to challenge an unfair or unreasonable refusal decision—without having to reapply right away.

🔍 Common Reasons for Visa and Permit Refusals

Each type of application has different requirements, and missing the mark—even slightly—can result in a refusal.

🧳 Visitor Visa Refusals

  • Not enough financial support for your stay in Canada

  • Weak or unclear purpose of visit

  • Insufficient ties to your home country

  • No travel history or prior immigration violations

🎓 Study Permit Refusals

  • Lack of proof of funds for tuition, living, and return travel

  • Poor academic record or lack of program relevance

  • Unclear purpose of study

  • Doubts about your intent to return home

đź‘· Work Permit Refusals

  • Questionable job offer or lack of LMIA from employer

  • Insufficient experience for the role

  • Weak home country ties suggesting you won’t leave after the permit expires

🏛️ What Is a Judicial Review?

A judicial review is a legal challenge to the decision-making process—not the outcome itself. The Federal Court assesses whether the immigration officer:

  • Ignored key evidence

  • Misapplied the law

  • Acted unreasonably or unfairly

You cannot present new evidence or attend a hearing. The judge will make a decision based on your lawyer’s written arguments and affidavits.

đź“‘ How the Judicial Review Process Works

  1. File Application – We file for leave and judicial review with the Federal Court

  2. Leave Stage – The judge decides if your case has merit (based on written submissions)

  3. Judicial Review – If granted, your lawyer argues why the decision should be overturned

  4. Decision – The court either dismisses the application or sends the decision back for reconsideration by a different officer

👨‍⚖️ Why You Need a Skilled Immigration Lawyer

Judicial reviews are high-stakes and highly technical. There are no second chances—your lawyer must present a compelling legal argument that persuades a Federal Court judge to act.

We’ll help you:

âś… Determine if a judicial review is worth pursuing
âś… Spot flaws in the refusal decision
âś… Draft powerful, court-ready legal submissions

📞 Contact us today for a free consultation. We’ll review your refusal letter and tell you whether a judicial review is the right move—or if there’s a better strategy for your case.

⛔ Stay of Removal – Stop Your Deportation from Canada

Have you received a removal order from CBSA? You may still have time to stop your deportation and stay in Canada—by applying for a stay of removal through the Federal Court of Canada.

A stay of removal can temporarily pause your removal while your legal matter is reviewed. But this process moves quickly—you must act before your scheduled removal date.

đź“… When Can You Apply for a Stay of Removal?

You can request a stay of removal if you’re facing removal but have ongoing or unresolved immigration matters, such as:

âś… Refused PRRA or Refugee Appeal
Your appeal has been denied, but you need time to pursue further legal options

âś… Deferral of Removal Denied by CBSA
An officer refused to delay your removal, and you want the Federal Court to review that decision

âś… Pending Immigration Application
You have a pending spousal sponsorship, H&C, or PR application that needs to be decided soon

⚖️ How the Stay of Removal Process Works

  1. File a Stay Application
    Your lawyer urgently files your stay request with the Federal Court—usually within days of your removal date

  2. Appear Before a Judge
    The Court will schedule a hearing (often within 24–48 hours). Your lawyer will present arguments on why your removal should be paused

  3. Decision

  • If granted, your deportation is stopped temporarily

  • If denied, CBSA may proceed with removing you from Canada

đź“Ś Why Timing and Experience Matter

This process is urgent, fast-moving, and legally complex. You need a lawyer who can:

  • Gather supporting documents in record time

  • Craft persuasive arguments under tight deadlines

  • Show the Court that your removal would cause irreparable harm or violate your rights

📞 Don’t Wait – Get Help Before It’s Too Late

If you’ve been told to leave Canada, your window to act may be closing fast. We’ve helped dozens of people delay or stop their deportation—and we can help you too.

⏰ Do Not Miss Your Immigration Appeal Deadline

If you've received an immigration refusal, time is not on your side. Each type of immigration appeal has a strict deadline—and missing it can cost you your chance to stay in Canada.

📆 Immigration Appeal Deadlines – Know Your Window to Act

Depending on the type of refusal, the timeline to appeal or seek judicial review is very short:

đź“ť Spousal Sponsorship Appeal:
30 days from the date you receive the refusal letter

đź“ť Residency Obligation Appeal:
60 days from the date IRCC issues the decision

đź“ť Removal Order Appeal (Permanent Residents):
30 days from the date the removal order was issued

đź“ť Refugee Appeal to RAD:

  • 15 days to file your notice of intent to appeal

  • 30 days to submit your full appeal package

đź“ť Judicial Review (Visitor Visa, Study Permit, Work Permit, etc.):
15 days from the date of refusal (if inside Canada)
60 days (if refusal occurred outside Canada)

🚨 What Happens If You Miss Your Deadline?

❌ You may lose your right to appeal altogether
❌ You could be removed from Canada before your case is reviewed
❌ Your only remaining option might be a judicial review with much lower chances of success
