The immigration appeal process can be complex and overwhelming. Centobin Law is here to help you navigate this challenging situation and give your case a second chance. Here’s what you need to know about the immigration appeal process in Canada.
Several immigration decisions can be appealed, depending on the type of application and the circumstances surrounding the refusal. The most common types of appeals include:
When you receive a refusal decision, it’s essential to act quickly. Immigration appeals have strict deadlines, typically within 30 days of receiving the decision. At Centobin Law, we will:
Once your appeal is filed, the next step is the hearing. The appeal will typically be heard before the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) or the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD). During the hearing:
Both sides will have the opportunity to present evidence and arguments. We’ll represent you during the hearing, ensuring your site is clearly and effectively presented.
You may be asked to provide testimony, and witnesses may be called to support your case. The immigration officer or government counsel may also present their side. Our lawyers will ensure you are fully prepared for any questions or challenges.
After the hearing, the immigration board will either allow or dismiss the appeal. If the appeal is allowed, your application will proceed. If dismissed, there may still be further options, such as a judicial review in Federal Court.
If your appeal is unsuccessful, you may still have the option to request a judicial review at the Federal Court. This involves asking the court to review the legal basis of the refusal to ensure the decision was fair and lawful. At Centobin Law, we advise you on whether a judicial review is a viable option for your case.
