REFUGEE CLAIMS

  • Refugee Protection Claim: An application for protection made by someone physically present in Canada who fears persecution in their home country due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group (e.g. LGBTQ+, gender-based, caste-based, political opinion, nationality, religion, etc.). Assessed by the Refugee Protection Division (RPD).
  • Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) Application: A last chance protection mechanism for people facing removal from Canada, allowing them to argue they'd face persecution, torture, or cruel treatment if sent back. Only available under specific conditions.

APPEALS

  • Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) Appeal: An appeal to the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) allows individuals to challenge a negative decision made by the Refugee Protection Division (RPD) on their refugee claim. The process is usually conducted in writing, without an in-person hearing. The appellant must submit written arguments explaining why the RPD made an error in its decision.
  • Residency Obligations Appeal: For permanent residents who have lost or may lose their PR status for not meeting the 730-day physical presence requirement over five years.
  • Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) Appeal: An appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) allows individuals to challenge certain immigration decisions before the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD). Common types of IAD appeals include sponsorship appeals (when a family sponsorship is refused), removal order appeals (for permanent residents, protected persons, or visa holders facing deportation), and residency obligation appeals (when a permanent resident is found not to have met the required 730 days in Canada within five years). However, there is no right of appeal for individuals found inadmissible to Canada for serious criminality, organized crime, security reasons, or violations of human or international rights. The IAD reviews cases based on law, facts, and fairness, and it may confirm, overturn, or stay a decision.

FEDERAL COURT JUDICIAL REVIEWS

  • Federal Court Judicial Review of Negative Decisions: A legal process to challenge negative decisions by immigration bodies (like IRCC, CBSA, IRB, etc) at the Federal Court of Canada, arguing that the decision was legally unreasonable or procedurally unfair.
  • Federal Court Motion to Stay Removals: An urgent request to the Federal Court to stop (stay) a scheduled deportation/removal while a judicial review or another legal process is underway.

PERMANENT RESIDENCE APPLICATIONS

  • Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) Grounds Application: An application to become a permanent resident based on exceptional personal circumstances, such as establishment in Canada, hardship if returned to the home country, or best interests of children.
  • Ministerial Relief Application: Applies to individuals found inadmissible on security grounds, human rights violations, or organized criminality. This is a rare discretionary relief granted by the Minister of Public Safety.
  • Spousal Sponsorship Application: An application by a Canadian citizen or permanent resident to sponsor their spouse or common-law partner for permanent residency.
  • Child Sponsorship Application: Child sponsorship is a family reunification program that allows Canadian citizens or permanent residents to sponsor their dependent children—biological or adopted—to come live with them as permanent residents. To qualify, the child must usually be under 22 years old, unmarried, and not in a common-law relationship. Children over 22 may still qualify if they are financially dependent due to a physical or mental condition.
  • All Other Permanent Residence Applications: Includes Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Programs, caregiver programs, protected persons, and other PR streams not mentioned individually.

HEARINGS, DETENTION, AND INADMISSIBILITY

  • Admissibility Hearing: A hearing to determine whether someone is inadmissible to Canada due to criminality, security concerns, misrepresentation, or other legal reasons.
  • Detention Review: A mandatory review (by the Immigration Division) to determine whether someone held in immigration detention should be released or remain detained.
  • Criminal Inadmissibility Issues: Representation or application support for individuals deemed inadmissible due to past or current criminal charges or convictions, including rehabilitation applications or record suspension.
  • Misrepresentation Issues: Legal support when someone is accused of giving false or misleading information to immigration authorities, which can lead to removal and bans.
  • Deferral of Removal Request: A request to CBSA to delay removal (deportation) due to pending applications, medical concerns, travel documents not being available, or other compassionate reasons.

TEMPORARY RESIDENCE APPLICATIONS

  • Temporary Residence (Visitor Visa) Application: Allows a person to enter Canada temporarily for tourism, visiting family, or short business stays.
  • Super Visa Application: A long-term visitor visa for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents, allowing stays of up to 5 years per entry.
  • Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) Application: Allows a person who is inadmissible to Canada to enter temporarily for compelling reasons (e.g. family visit, medical treatment).
  • Work Permit Application: Permission to work legally in Canada, either under employer-specific or open work permits (e.g., post-grad, spousal, etc).
  • Study Permit Application: Authorization for international students to study in Canada at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI).

OTHER LEGAL RESPONSES AND APPLICATIONS

  • Response to Procedural Fairness Letters (PFL): A response to concerns raised by IRCC before they make a negative decision, giving the applicant a chance to explain or correct issues (e.g., misrepresentation, criminal record, inadmissibility).
  • Authorization to Return to Canada (ARC) Applications: Needed for individuals who were previously deported from Canada and now wish to return, showing why their re-entry is justified.
  • Application for a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD): A Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) lets Canadian permanent residents outside Canada return if they don't have a valid PR card. It's usually for one-time use and is needed to board a commercial flight.
  • Citizenship Application: Application to become a Canadian citizen after meeting residency, language, tax filing, and knowledge test requirements.
  • All Other Immigration Matters: Covers any immigration-related legal service not specifically listed above, such as procedural strategy, document review, or consultations.
