Frequently Asked Questions

How can I challenge a refused immigration decision?

If your immigration application has been refused, you may have the right to challenge the decision. The process varies depending on the type of refusal and must be handled promptly and carefully.

Options to contest a decision:

Judicial review: You may file for judicial review with the Federal Court of Canada. A leave application must be submitted within 15 or 60 days, depending on whether the decision was made in Canada or abroad.
Reapplication: In many cases, correcting the issues and submitting a new application may be a better strategy.
Administrative appeal: Some decisions (e.g., family sponsorship refusals) can be appealed to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD).
Request GCMS notes: Internal case notes from IRCC can help clarify reasons for refusal and guide next steps.

Legal review of immigration decisions requires expertise. For guidance, contact our Immigration Lawyers in Montreal at Brunel Immigration.

For your complex cases (previous refusals, health or security issues), our experts at Brunel Immigration build a strong case, prepare your supporting documents, and maximize your chances before Canadian authorities.
