Immigration Appeals, Judicial Reviews & Mandamus

If your visa or immigration application is refused, you may have the right to challenge that decision. We represent clients before the Federal Court of Canada and the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) for appeals, judicial reviews, and applications for mandamus when IRCC delays are unreasonable.

Our approach is thorough and practical: we obtain and analyze disclosure (including ATIP), identify reviewable errors of law, fact, or mixed fact and law, address procedural fairness concerns, and build a persuasive record and memorandum to seek a favourable outcome—through resolution or court order.

How We Advocate For You

We assess your case strategy end-to-end: timelines and deadlines, merits of appeal or review, evidentiary gaps, and settlement opportunities. Whether RAD appeal, Federal Court judicial review, or mandamus for delay, we tailor arguments to your facts and jurisdiction.
