Canadian immigration refusal review
Understand the refusal before deciding what to do next. Discuss the decision, the application record and whether a fresh application or another response may be appropriate.
Based in London, Ontario. Canadian immigration enquiries across Canada and abroad. Scope confirmed for each matter.
Start with your circumstances
Clear advice. Practical next steps.
A refusal letter is the starting point. We need to understand what was submitted, what the decision says and whether there is a time-sensitive route to consider.
Consider the available response
Discuss whether a further application, reconsideration request, appeal where available, or judicial review merits assessment.
Plan the evidence
Identify gaps or inconsistencies to address rather than simply resubmitting the same material.
What to understand before you proceed
The correct response depends on the decision and your circumstances. A fresh application and a court review serve different purposes. Judicial review is not a new application for the Court to approve your immigration status. Not every refusal carries a statutory appeal right. Obtain advice promptly about the applicable route and deadline.
Make the consultation useful
Bring the information that matters.
- The complete refusal letter and the date you received it
- A copy of the application and all documents submitted
- Any decision notes or correspondence already available
- Your current immigration status and its expiry date
- What has changed since the application, with supporting documents
Use the secure sharing instructions supplied by the office. Do not send identification or sensitive records through a general enquiry.

Before you book
Your questions, answered.
Should I submit the same application again?
First understand the reasons for refusal. IRCC notes that repeating a visitor visa application with the same information is unlikely to change the result. The response should address the relevant concerns.
Can every refusal be appealed?
No. Appeal rights depend on the decision and the legislation. Some matters may instead require assessment of an application for leave and judicial review.
Does booking protect my deadline?
No. Tell our team promptly about any decision or deadline. A booking does not mean the firm has accepted responsibility for a filing or deadline.
I already have an active file. Should I book here?
Use existing-client booking and follow the verification steps for your active matter.
