Immigration Refusal / Rejection Advocacy

VK Law Group’s Immigration Refusal Advocacy team provides strategic and assertive representation for individuals and families confronting negative immigration decisions.

 

We advocate for our clients at every stage of the process—from initial refusal assessments to appeals before the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD), judicial reviews at the Federal Court, and reconsideration requests. Our representation encompasses all relevant tribunals and courts across Canada.

​

We assist clients facing refusals in various immigration matters, including visa applications, permanent residency, sponsorships, and other immigration-related decisions. Our team is dedicated to safeguarding the rights of applicants, ensuring procedural fairness, and achieving optimal outcomes through meticulous, responsive, and confidential legal representation.

Practice Focus

 

Our Immigration Refusal Advocacy team concentrates on the following areas:

• Visa and Permit Refusals: Challenging refusals of temporary resident visas, study permits, work permits, and visitor visas.

• Permanent Residency and Sponsorship Appeals: Representing clients in appeals related to permanent residency applications and family sponsorships, including spousal, parental, and dependent child sponsorships.

• Residency Obligation Appeals: Advocating for permanent residents facing loss of status due to alleged non-compliance with residency requirements.

• Judicial Reviews: Filing applications for judicial review in the Federal Court to contest decisions where no right of appeal exists, such as certain economic class refusals.

• Reconsideration Requests: Submitting requests to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for reconsideration of decisions based on new evidence or identification of errors.
