Application for Leave and Judicial Review
- Was your visitor, student, or work visa application from outside Canada refused?
- Was your appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division or the Refugee Appeal Division denied?
- To review the decisions of the Refugee Appeal Division, Immigration Division and the Immigration Appeal Division.
An application for leave and judicial review to the Federal Court may be needed to have the decision set aside and returned for reconsideration by another member or officer.
There are short filing deadlines for securing a judicial review. Applicants should immediately seek legal advice when they receive an unfavourable decision.
Contact us immediately for a consultation to discuss the possibility of a judicial review.
Are you admissible to Canada?
There are various reasons a temporary resident or foreign national may be found inadmissible, including if the person:
- Was convicted of a criminal offence in Canada
- Was convicted of an offence outside of Canada that is considered a crime in Canada
- Committed an act outside of Canada that is considered a crime under the laws of the country where it occurred and would be punishable under Canadian law.
To determine inadmissibility, we can assist with equating foreign convictions to Canadian law as if they had occurred in Canada. If you were convicted of or committed a criminal offence outside Canada, you may overcome this criminal inadmissibility by applying for rehabilitation.
If you have a criminal conviction in Canada, you must seek a record suspension (formerly a pardon) from the Parole Board of Canada before you will be admissible to Canada.
Admissibility Hearing
Inadmissibility to Canada will prevent foreign nationals and permanent residents from living, working, visiting or studying in Canada.
We can:
- Discuss your legal issues with you and find the best solution to address them.
- Advise you on gathering documentary evidence, such as proof of rehabilitation and medical reports, to support your admissibility.
- Prepare affidavits to support your admissibility.
- Arrange for witnesses to give information in support of your admissibility.
- Request a representative of your country’s consulate or the United Nations High Commission for Refugees to attend your hearing.
- Persuasive legal arguments will be submitted at your hearing.
- If needed, apply for a temporary resident permit on your behalf.
Immigration Appeal
- Did you receive an adverse decision on your family spousal sponsorship application?
- Did CBSA ask you to attend an admissibility hearing?
- Did the Immigration Division determine you are inadmissible on the grounds of criminality, medical grounds, that you do not comply with the residency requirements or an adverse decision to adopt a child? You are eligible to appeal these decisions to the Immigration Appeal Division.
- Was your refugee claim refused? You may appeal the decision to the Refugee Appeal Division.
Our lawyers have a strong track record of success in having immigration denials overturned on appeal. Contact us today.
Detention Review
Foreign nationals or permanent residents who are believed to have violated the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) are subject to removal orders or required to appear at admissibility hearings before the Immigration Division (ID) of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB).
Canada Border Service Agency may detain a foreign national or permanent resident for the following reasons:
- The person is unlikely to appear for a hearing or removal
- The person is a danger to the public or has violated human or international rights or
- The person has not established their identity.
The Immigration Division conducts detention reviews. If you are being subject to a detention review, do not wait to contact us today
Urgent stay of removal
An urgent application to stay(delay) your removal from Canada will prevent Canada Border Services Agency to remove you from Canada. This application can be complicated and especially time-specific.
Contact us immediately when you receive a letter for a meeting with CBSA to update your personal information. This is the start of your removal process.
Application for Mandamus
If an immigration application is delayed, an application for mandamus can be made to the Federal Court.
- For a mandamus order that will either force or stop Citizenship and Immigration, the Immigration Division, the Immigration Appeal Division, the Refugee Protection Division, the Refugee Appeal Division or the Canada Border Service Agency from deciding or taking specific action.
- If your immigration decision has been in process or pending for years and you have not received a response from the government after numerous enquiries, a mandamus can force a quick and timely decision.
Contact us for a consultation to discuss the possibility of a mandamus for your case.
