Under Canada’s immigration law, you may be able to file a request to have the Federal Court of Canada review a negative decision made on your visa or immigration matter. The application must be filed by a lawyer in Canada, we work with a member of a law society in Canada to file the request on your behalf.
Inquiry NowA judicial review may be filed if IRCC did not follow the correct procedures when assessing your application. For example, if the visa officer did not assess the application properly and take into consideration the facts presented and the documentation provided, then there may be grounds for a successful request for judicial review. Note that in order to be granted leave via judicial review one must prove that IRCC did not perform their job properly. You must show the Court that an error was made in the decision, or the decision was not fair or reasonable.
Although technically the judicial review decision is not based on the merits of your case but rather the process that lead to the decision, if the original application being reviewed was not complete and did not present a strong case for approval then in practice it is difficult to obtain a favorable decision. Most types of visa applications can be reviewed, but there are exceptions.
To apply to review an officer’s decision for a matter arising in Canada, the judicial review must be commenced within 15 days on which the person concerned is notified of the decision. For decisions made on matters arising outside of Canada, the judicial review must be commenced within 60 days.
As mentioned above we can’t file the judicial review for you as only members of a provincial law society can do this. However, we have a standing agreement and relationship with a lawyer in Canada who has significant expertise and experience in successfully handling judicial review leave applications and hearings. The fee which we charge is very competitive compared to most law firms.
