Appeals
Do you require professional legal assistance with your immigration appeal? Contact us to learn how our lawyers can help you successfully appeal your immigration application.
Appeals
An appeal is a procedure that can be initiated following immigration refusals, which allows for a full review of the decision and the decision-making process by the Canadian Immigration Appeal Division.
Once an appeal is filed with the Immigration Appeal Division, a hearing date will be set. At the hearing, the Board Member (or Panel Member) will review the decision of the immigration officer, visa officer or Canada Border Services Agency officer. You can submit updated documentation at an Appeal, and the Board will consider new evidence. If the appeal is allowed, the Immigration Appeal Division will send the matter back to the visa office for continued processing.
The Canadian immigration appeals process can be complex and time-consuming, but with the right support, you can successfully overturn a negative decision and achieve your goal of immigrating to Canada. The following applications may be appealed:
- Spousal Sponsorship
- Family Class Sponsorship
- Residency Obligation
- Removal Order
We understand that a negative decision can be devastating, especially if you have already invested time, money, and effort into your immigration application. That is why we work tirelessly to ensure that your appeal is properly prepared and presented. Our lawyers will work with you to understand the circumstances of your case and develop a strategic plan to achieve the best possible outcome.
Our lawyers will carefully review the evidence and documents submitted with your initial application to identify any errors or omissions that may have contributed to the negative decision. In addition to preparing and presenting your appeal, we will also represent you in court if necessary.
Judicial Review
Judicial Review is a legal process that allows individuals to challenge a decision made by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on immigration-related matters.
You can apply for judicial review of almost any decision of the IRCC to the Federal Court of Canada. Decisions that can be judicially reviewed by the Federal Court can be refused visa applications for permanent and temporary residence applications, citizenship, and decisions from other levels of courts and tribunals, such as the Immigration Appeal Division and the Refugee Appeal Division.
The purpose of the judicial review process is to ensure that the government has acted within the law and followed proper procedures when making a decision. This process provides a mechanism for individuals to have their cases reviewed by an independent body and ensures that the government’s decisions are transparent, fair, and lawful.
You must apply for judicial review of the decision of the IRCC to the Federal Court within 15 days for a decision made in Canada and 60 days for a decision made outside of Canada.
In a judicial review, the Federal Court will consider the following:
- Whether the decision-maker acted legally and within its jurisdiction
- Whether the decision-maker made its decision using a fair procedure
- Whether the decision was reasonable in light of all the evidence.
If your immigration matter has been refused and you want to apply for judicial review to the Federal Court, we can help. Contact us or schedule your consultation today and take the first step towards challenging a decision made by the IRCC. Our lawyers will review the IRCC decision and decision-making process, prepare your application and represent you at the Federal Court, giving you the best chance of success with your judicial review application.

Inadmissability
Have you been denied entry to Canada? Contact us to learn how our lawyers can help you overcome this situation.
Inadmissibility
At KR Law Firm, we understand the complexities of the Canadian immigration process and the challenges faced by individuals who have been deemed inadmissible to Canada.
Inadmissibility to Canada can arise for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to, criminal convictions, health issues, misrepresentation, and security concerns. The consequences of being deemed inadmissible can be severe, and may prevent you from entering or remaining in Canada.
At KR Law Firm, we believe that everyone deserves a fair chance to overcome their inadmissibility issues and achieve their goals. We will work with you to understand the circumstances of your case and develop a strategic plan to overcome your inadmissibility.
Admissibility Hearings
The Immigration Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board may convene a hearing to determine whether a foreign national or permanent resident is admissible to Canada.
Rehabilitation
Foreign nationals convicted of a crime and deemed inadmissible to Canada can qualify for rehabilitation, meaning that the criminal offence is no longer a basis for inadmissibility.
Temporary Resident Permits
A Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) is required when a foreign national is inadmissible to Canada but can demonstrate compelling reasons why they must enter Canada for a short period. If granted a TRP, the foreign national will be allowed to enter or remain in Canada for a short period despite being inadmissible.
Humanitarian and Compassionate Applications
An alternative route for entry into Canada for those who are inadmissible to Canada is to apply for an exemption to the requirements of the law on Humanitarian and Compassionate grounds.
If you have been deemed inadmissible to Canada, we invite you to contact us for a consultation. We will work with you to understand the circumstances of your case and develop a customized strategy to overcome your inadmissibility.
