We offer comprehensive litigation services for individuals and businesses facing immigration-related issues, including:
Appearances Before the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB)
The Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) is an independent tribunal responsible for making decisions on immigration and refugee matters in Canada. Our firm provides experienced representation before all divisions of the IRB, including:
- Refugee Protection Division (RPD): The RPD hears claims for refugee protection made by individuals who fear persecution in their home country. If you are seeking asylum in Canada, we provide expert representation at your hearing before the RPD. We ensure that all documentation, evidence, and testimonies are properly prepared to present a compelling case for refugee protection.
- Immigration Division (ID): The ID conducts admissibility hearings and detention reviews for individuals facing deportation or detention by Canadian immigration authorities. We represent clients who are detained or at risk of removal from Canada, advocating for their rights and challenging detention or deportation orders. Our team ensures that your case is thoroughly examined and that your interests are protected.
- Refugee Appeal Division (RAD): If your refugee claim is denied by the RPD, we can assist in filing an appeal with the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD). The RAD reviews decisions made by the RPD and considers new evidence or legal arguments that may have been overlooked. We provide effective representation during the appeal process, ensuring that all grounds for your appeal are clearly presented and properly argued.
- Immigration Appeal Division (IAD): The IAD handles appeals of decisions made by Canadian immigration officers, such as refusals of permanent residence applications, sponsorship applications, and inadmissibility decisions. Our team provides strategic advice and representation before the IAD, presenting strong cases for appeal to secure favorable outcomes for our clients.
- Other IRB Divisions and Hearings: We also represent clients in other areas of the IRB, including detention reviews, admissibility hearings, and other immigration-related matters. Our team has extensive experience handling a variety of IRB hearings and ensures that our clients’ rights are always upheld.
Federal Court of Canada
In cases where an immigration decision has been made by the IRB or another government agency, and we believe the decision was flawed or unfair, our legal team can pursue a judicial review of the decision at the Federal Court of Canada.
- Judicial Review Process: Judicial review is the process by which the Federal Court of Canada reviews decisions made by immigration authorities, including the IRB, to ensure they are lawful, reasonable, and just. Our firm has significant experience in filing judicial review applications, challenging decisions that may have been based on errors in law, improper procedures, or unreasonable conclusions.
- Appeals to the Federal Court of Appeal: If a judicial review is unsuccessful or if there are significant legal issues, we can assist in appealing decisions made by the Federal Court to the Federal Court of Appeal. We provide expert legal counsel to ensure that all potential grounds for appeal are properly explored and pursued.
- Temporary Stay of Removal Orders: If you are facing imminent deportation, we can request a stay of removal from the Federal Court. This temporary suspension allows you to remain in Canada while your case is being reviewed, ensuring that you are not unfairly removed while your legal options are explored.
- Legal Challenges to Immigration Policies and Regulations: In some cases, we may challenge immigration policies, laws, or regulations that negatively impact our clients. This can include challenges to visa refusals, inadmissibility rulings, or the fairness of immigration procedures. Our team works diligently to protect your rights and interests in such matters.
