Understand the decision
We start with the written decision, the date received and the material before the decision-maker. A refusal does not by itself establish that a court challenge will succeed.
Canada-wide immigration advice
Immigration judicial review in Federal Court
Get advice about a decision, the application record and whether a court review may be the appropriate next step.
Clear advice and practical next steps
Start with your circumstances.
Assess the court route
Federal Court judicial review is different from asking IRCC to decide a fresh application. Immigration judicial review generally requires the Court’s permission, called leave.
Agree representation and scope
A paid consultation is an assessment within its stated scope. Any court filing, preparation, hearing or urgent work requires separate acceptance and an agreed retainer.
Make the first conversation useful.
- The complete decision and date it was received
- The application and evidence submitted
- Decision notes and related correspondence, if available
- Any existing court documents or lawyer correspondence
- Your current status and any urgent travel or removal concern
Use the office’s secure sharing instructions for sensitive records. Do not send identity or financial documents through a general enquiry.

Before you start.
Will the Court approve my immigration application?
Judicial review concerns the legality of a decision or process. It is not a fresh immigration application for the Court to approve.
Does booking preserve the court deadline?
No. Tell our team immediately about a decision or deadline. The firm must separately accept responsibility for any filing.
General information, not advice about an individual matter. Federal Court: immigration judicial review. Check the official source for current requirements.
