We are Lawgical Law Corporation, a British Columbia law firm founded by immigration lawyer Sundeep S. Grewal. Our legal team also includes lawyers Prabhpreet Kaur Sangha and Pardeep S. Grewal. We assist clients with immigration applications, refusals, appeals, inadmissibility matters, and cases before the Federal Court.

Sundeep’s experience as a courtroom advocate shapes the way we approach immigration files. We take time to understand each client’s circumstances, research the issues, and prepare evidence and submissions for the decision that needs to be made. We also explain the risks clearly so clients can make informed choices about their applications.

For visitor visas, that means we look beyond the forms. We assess the purpose of the visit, finances, ties to the applicant’s home country, and any previous refusals. We work to present a clear application to the visa officer. If it is refused, our Federal Court experience allows us to assess whether there are grounds to challenge the decision through judicial review.

Your choice of representative matters if the application is refused. I prepare visitor visa applications with the possibility of a Federal Court challenge in mind. If there are grounds for judicial review, I can advise you and represent you in Court. An immigration consultant cannot.

Consultant misconduct is a serious enough issue that the consultants’ own regulator established a compensation fund for eligible clients who suffer proven financial losses from dishonest conduct. The government has also proposed stronger penalties for paid immigration representatives who break the law. When you retain my firm, a lawyer is responsible for your application from the beginning and can represent you if a refusal needs to be challenged.

A prior refusal does not prevent your parents from applying again. We first examine what was submitted and why the officer refused it. If important evidence was missing, a new application should address that gap.

If your parents already provided all reasonable supporting documents, repeatedly submitting the same evidence may lead to repeated refusals. At that point, the way to break the cycle may be to challenge an unreasonable refusal through judicial review, if there are grounds to do so. We prepare a new application carefully so the officer has the evidence needed to make a fair decision and, if it is refused, there is a clear record to assess for a Federal Court challenge. Judicial review does not guarantee a visa.

No. The application must explain the purpose of the visit, how it will be funded, and why the applicant will leave Canada at the end of their authorized stay. The answers in the forms must also be accurate and consistent with the supporting documents. Giving false information or withholding a material fact can lead to a finding of misrepresentation and a five-year period of inadmissibility. That is why we review both the answers and the evidence before submitting an application.

The documents depend on the applicant’s circumstances and where they are applying from. Evidence may include employment or business records, finances, family responsibilities, travel history, and a clear explanation of the planned visit. Some visa offices also have additional, country-specific document requirements that may not be obvious from a general checklist. Our experience helps us identify those requirements and assemble evidence that addresses the officer’s likely concerns.

An invitation letter can help explain the purpose of the visit and where the visitor will stay, but it does not guarantee approval. The applicant must still satisfy the officer that they meet the visitor visa requirements, including that they will leave Canada at the end of their authorized stay.

That depends in part on how long they hope to stay in Canada and whether they meet the requirements for a super visa. We can review both options with your family before deciding which application fits their plans.
