Application Refusals

Every year thousands of applications for temporary residence or permanent residence are refused by IRCC. The reasons for refusal may vary, but often the decision may be negative because an applicant hired a person that was not licensed as a Canadian lawyer and as a result an application that incomplete or not fully support by evidence was presented to IRCC.

Generally, only Canadian lawyers are fully licensed to represent you in all areas of Canadian immigration. You should always askthe person expressing interest to represent you for their lawyer license number. Be very careful to not seek advice or representation from a person that claims to be an “AGENT” or agrees to do the work for you but does not declare their name to IRCC as your representative.

If your application was rejected, we can help you depending on the type of application. You may have multiple options available to challenge that decision, but commonly, the following options are generally available to most clients:

Judicial-Review-of-Refused-Application

Judicial Review of Refused Application(s)

At GTA Immigration Services, our Canadian immigration lawyerhas experience with judicial reviews and litigation before the Federal Court of Canada. If your application for visitor visa, study permit, work permit, or application for permanent residence under express entry, provincial nomination, or business immigration, was refused, we can help. As a matter of right, you have an option to challenge the decision and seek the court’s judicial review powers to assess whether the decision was reasonable.

An application to the Federal Court of Canada for judicial review must be initiated within 60 days for a decision made outside of Canada and within 15 days for a decision made in Canada. These types of applications are very complex and time-sensitive.

If your application was refused, you must not waste time. At GTA Immigration Services, we can help you determineyour legal rightsand we can assess what can be legally done in your situation.

Reconsideration of Refused Applications

Canadian immigration law allows an officer that rejected your application to reconsider their decision. As a matter of right, you can ask the officer that decided your application to reconsider their decision.

Reconsideration applications can generally be filed for most refused immigrationapplications, however, these applications are legally complex and time-sensitive. It is highly recommended that you speak with our Canadian immigration lawyer to get advice and assess whether a reconsideration application is the right legal option in your circumstances.

New Applications

If your application has been refused previously, and in some cases, multiple times, it is highly recommended that you speak with our Canadian immigration lawyer. The Canadian immigration process is not a lottery system and a denial on your previous application will likely have an impact on future applications.

It is a common practice among unexperienced and unlicensed “AGENTS” to recommend to their clients to refile a new application when there hasbeen a denial. While a new application can be a good option in some circumstances, it generally should be avoided, unless you have spoken to a Canadian lawyer.

If your application has been refused and you are thinking of filing a new application, it is highly recommended that you speak with our Canadian immigration lawyer before making this decision.

Right advice can make or break your case. At GTA Immigration Services, our Canadian immigration lawyer has experience in helping clients with previous refusals.
