Frequently Asked Questions

Study permit refusal under 216(1)(b): What’s the solution?

We review the refusal, address weak ties or study plan issues, and build a stronger file. Depending on timelines, the best path is often a solid reapplication or a targeted legal remedy.

How do I respond to a Procedural Fairness Letter (PFL)?

You must respond quickly and precisely. We prepare evidence, a structured explanation, and a clear response to reduce the risk of a final refusal.

My sponsorship was refused: IAD appeal or new application?

It depends on the refusal reasons and deadlines. We assess whether an IAD appeal is stronger or if a new, better‑documented application gives you higher chances.

What is the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB)?

The IRB is Canada's largest independent administrative tribunal. It has four divisions: RPD (refugee claims), RAD (refugee appeals), IAD (immigration appeals), and ID (admissibility/detention). It decides on refugee protection, immigration appeals, and inadmissibility matters independently from IRCC.

How long does a refugee claim take?

After filing your claim, you typically receive a hearing date within 2-4 months. The hearing itself lasts 2-4 hours. Decisions are often rendered orally at the hearing or within a few weeks. Complex cases may take longer. If refused, you have 15 days to appeal to RAD.

Can I appeal a negative refugee decision?

Yes, most claimants can appeal to the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) within 15 days of receiving the decision. Some exceptions apply (safe third country, designated countries, manifestly unfounded). You can also apply for judicial review at the Federal Court.

What is the success rate for IAD sponsorship appeals?

Statistically, about 30-40% of IAD appeals succeed. However, with proper representation and strong evidence, success rates can reach 60-70%. The key is demonstrating the genuineness of the relationship and overcoming the original refusal grounds.

Can a permanent resident be deported?

Yes, permanent residents can face removal for serious criminality (6+ months sentence), misrepresentation, or security grounds. PRs have appeal rights to the IAD unless they lose status or face security-related removal. We help protect your status through appeals.

How quickly can you get someone out of detention?

The first detention review occurs within 48 hours. If detention continues, reviews happen at 7 days and then every 30 days. With a strong release plan and suitable surety, release is often possible at the first or second review. We prepare urgent applications.

Do I need a lawyer or can an RCIC represent me?

RCICs (Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants) are authorized to represent clients at all IRB divisions. For most cases, an experienced RCIC provides excellent representation. Very complex cases involving constitutional issues may benefit from lawyer involvement.

What evidence do I need for a refugee claim?

Essential evidence includes: identity documents, personal narrative (BOC form), country condition documentation, news articles, expert reports, medical/psychological reports if applicable, witness statements, and any proof of persecution or risk. We help you gather and organize all evidence.
