Refusals & Appeals

An immigration refusal or inadmissibility finding can be devastating, but it is not always the end of the road. Depending on the type of application and the reason for refusal, you may have options including reapplying with a stronger application, requesting reconsideration, filing an appeal with the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD), or seeking judicial review at the Federal Court of Canada.

Common grounds for immigration refusals include insufficient ties to the home country (for temporary resident applications), misrepresentation, criminal inadmissibility, medical inadmissibility, or failure to meet eligibility criteria. Spousal sponsorship refusals, permanent residence refusals, and removal orders can often be appealed to the IAD, while other IRCC decisions may be challenged at Federal Court. Refugee claimants whose claims are rejected by the Refugee Protection Division (RPD) may appeal to the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD).
