🔎 Government Warnings and Regulations about Consultants:
The Government of Canada has proposed new penalties for immigration consultants who break the law (IRCC, 2023).
Consultants are regulated by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC), which maintains a compensation fund to repay clients defrauded by consultants (CICC Compensation Fund).
If the system needs a repayment fund, you should ask: Do you really want to be represented by someone whose industry expects misconduct? (IRCC Rule Changes)

If your refugee claim has been refused, you’re not alone—and you still have options.
➡️ You may be able to appeal to the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD)
➡️ Or, if you're not eligible for RAD, you may apply for judicial review at the Federal Court
Time is critical. Whether your refusal was based on credibility, state protection, or Internal Flight Alternative (IFA), the next step must happen fast—and with the right legal help.
We’ll review your refusal, explain your legal options, and guide you through the appeal or judicial review process.

If your refugee claim was denied in Canada, your next step depends on your eligibility:
✅ Refugee Appeal Division (RAD):
If you qualify, you can appeal to RAD and argue that the Refugee Protection Division (RPD) made a mistake in law or fact. You may also submit new evidence that wasn’t available at your original hearing.
✅ Judicial Review – Federal Court of Canada:
If you're not eligible for RAD, you can request a judicial review in Federal Court. This isn’t a new hearing—you cannot submit new evidence. The judge only reviews whether the RPD's decision was made fairly and legally.
📌 Key difference:
RAD = A second chance to correct legal errors and submit new facts
Judicial Review = A legal check on whether the original decision was reasonable

Time is critical after a refugee claim refusal in Canada. From the date you receive your decision:
✅ You have 15 days to file a Notice of Appeal to the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) (if you're eligible)
✅ You have 15 days to file a Notice of Application for Judicial Review to the Federal Court (if you're not eligible for RAD)
⚠️ Missed deadlines can mean losing your right to appeal.
Although late filing requests are sometimes allowed, they are difficult to win and should be avoided. It’s always better to act immediately.

The Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) reviews the decision made by the Refugee Protection Division (RPD) to determine if it was wrong in fact or law.
Most RAD appeals are paper-based — this means you usually won’t have to attend a hearing in person. However, if you're submitting new evidence to challenge credibility findings, the RAD may schedule an oral hearing.
The RAD Can:
✔️ Confirm the RPD's refusal (agree with the original decision)
✔️ Set aside the decision and grant you protection
✔️ Send the case back to the RPD for a new hearing with another decision-maker
A strong legal submission can make the difference between being sent home or staying safely in Canada. Let us help you present your strongest case.

The processing time for a RAD appeal varies, but most decisions take several months from the date your appeal is submitted.
In urgent or vulnerable cases, the Refugee Appeal Division may expedite the process.
🛑 You cannot be removed from Canada while your appeal is pending.
This gives you time to properly present your case — but don’t delay. Delays can occur if:
You submit additional evidence late
Your appeal involves complex legal arguments
There are procedural issues with your file
Working with an experienced immigration lawyer helps you stay organized, avoid delays, and keep your appeal moving forward.

Yes, you can submit new evidence to the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD), but there are strict rules.
New evidence must meet all of the following criteria:
✅ It did not exist at the time of your Refugee Protection Division (RPD) hearing
✅ It was not reasonably available when your RPD hearing took place
✅ It is relevant and could affect the outcome of your appeal
The RAD will carefully assess whether your new evidence meets these requirements. Submitting the wrong kind of evidence — or failing to explain it properly — can result in it being rejected.
👨⚖️ A refugee appeal lawyer can help you determine what to include and how to present it for the strongest impact.

You may be able to appeal to the RAD if you believe the Refugee Protection Division (RPD) made an error in deciding your refugee claim.
Common appeal grounds include:
✅ Misapplying the law
✅ Misunderstanding important facts
✅ Unfair credibility assessment
✅ Failing to properly consider your evidence
The RAD will review the decision to see if it was legally or factually incorrect. If an error is found, the RAD can overturn the decision or order a new hearing.
📩 Don’t navigate this process alone — we can help you build a strong, persuasive appeal.

If your refugee claim has been refused, strict timelines apply:
✅ You must file your Notice of Appeal within 15 days of receiving your written RPD decision.
✅ Your complete appeal record must be submitted within 45 days.
🕒 Missed the deadline? You can still request an extension, but you must:
Provide a valid reason for the delay
Show that you had a continuous intention to appeal
⚠️ Missing a deadline without a strong justification can cost you your right to appeal. Don’t wait until it’s too late — legal advice early on can make all the difference.

If your refugee appeal is dismissed by the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD), or you’re not eligible to appeal to the RAD, your next step may be a judicial review at the Federal Court of Canada.
You may be required to go to Federal Court if:
📍 You are from a Designated Country of Origin (DCO)
❌ Your claim was declared manifestly unfounded or found to have no credible basis
🛂 Your claim was made at a port of entry and was ruled ineligible
⚖️ Important to Know:
Judicial review is not an appeal. The Court does not hear your case again or allow new evidence. Instead, it decides whether the original decision by the Refugee Protection Division (RPD) was legally or procedurally flawed.

To challenge a refused refugee claim at the Federal Court of Canada, you must first apply for leave (permission) to proceed.
⏱ Deadlines You Must Follow:
15 days to file a Notice of Application for Leave
30 days to submit your Application Record
Once the Court reviews your application and grants leave, your case will proceed to a hearing. At that stage, we will argue that the Refugee Protection Division (RPD) made a serious legal or procedural error that should be overturned.

While you can represent yourself in a judicial review, it’s important to understand that the process is highly technical and legally complex.
It requires detailed legal research
Preparation of persuasive written arguments
And sometimes oral submissions before a Federal Court judge
Most applicants choose to hire a lawyer who is experienced in immigration law and familiar with Federal Court procedures. A well-prepared legal argument can make all the difference in the outcome of your case.

Yes — you can be removed from Canada while your judicial review is still pending.
If the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) sets a removal date, you must apply for a Stay of Removal from the Federal Court. This is a separate application that asks the Court to stop your removal while your judicial review is being decided.
⚖️ Without a granted stay, your judicial review does not protect you from removal.
📞 If you've received a removal date, contact us immediately to prepare and file your stay of removal application and protect your right to remain in Canada.

Judicial reviews at the Federal Court can be complex and come with legal fees, court filing costs, and in some cases, a Stay of Removal motion to stop your deportation while the case is pending.
🔍 What to Expect:
File a Notice of Application – within 15 days of receiving your refusal
Submit an Application Record – within 30 days of filing the Notice
Wait for the Court to decide on leave – the Court will review your documents to determine if your case can proceed
Attend the hearing – if leave is granted, your lawyer will argue your case at a judicial review hearing
💼 Every case is different. We offer flexible payment plans and may accept legal aid where eligible. With our experience in both the RAD and the Federal Court, we will guide you through each step and fight to correct errors in your refugee decision.

Abandoned Refugee Claim? You May Still Have Options
If you missed your refugee hearing, the Refugee Protection Division (RPD) will schedule a special hearing to give you a chance to explain why.
If you don’t attend the special hearing, or if the RPD doesn’t accept your reasons, your claim will be declared abandoned. That means:
You are no longer considered a refugee claimant in Canada.
You may be barred from applying for a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA).
You will not have the right to start a new refugee claim.
📌 Your only option is to ask the RPD to reopen your claim.
If the RPD refuses to reopen, you must appeal to the Federal Court of Canada to challenge that decision.
We help clients:
Apply to reopen abandoned claims
Prepare strong justifications for missing hearings
Appeal RPD refusals at the Federal Court
⏱ Time is critical. If your claim was deemed abandoned or you missed a hearing, contact us immediately. We’ll act fast to protect your right to stay in Canada.
