Why Consider an Immigration Appeal?
The Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) functions like a specialized court. They review specific types of negative decisions. Unlike a standard review, the IAD can consider humanitarian and compassionate grounds. Consequently, they might allow you to stay in Canada even if you broke a rule.
Winning an Immigration Appeal can restore your status or reunite your family. However, strict rules apply to who can access this process.
Who Can Use This Tool?
Our assessment tool specifically checks for IAD jurisdiction. Generally, this tribunal hears three types of cases:
- Sponsorship Refusals: For Canadians who sponsored a spouse, parent, or child.
- Removal Orders: For Permanent Residents or Protected Persons facing deportation.
- Residency Obligations: For Permanent Residents who lost status due to prolonged absence from Canada.
If your case fits one of these categories, an Immigration Appeal might save your application.
Use the Assessment Form
Please answer the questions honestly. The tool creates an unofficial report based on your inputs. It supports English, Spanish, Mandarin, and Persian.
Deadlines Are Critical
You must act quickly. The law sets strict time limits for filing an Immigration Appeal. Usually, you have only 30 days from the date you receive the decision. If you miss this window, you lose your right to appeal. Therefore, verify your eligibility immediately using the form above.
If the tool suggests you are eligible, book a consultation with a professional. We can help you navigate the complex legal arguments required for success.
