What happened to you?
People do not search for an immigration consultant. They search for the words printed on the letter. Find yours.
Your refugee claim was refused
If you have a right to appeal, the Refugee Appeal Division is the next step. The clock runs from the day you received the written reasons, not the day of your hearing.
15 days to file the Notice of Appeal
Your appeal is filed but not perfected
An appeal is largely a paper case. The record is where it is won or lost, and a late or thin record is the most common avoidable failure.
30 days under the Rules, confirm the practice notice
You were told you may be ineligible
Bill C-12 took effect on 26 March 2026 and reaches back to 24 June 2020. A short visit years ago can affect a claim made now. Around 30,000 people were written to.
Check your letter and send it the same day
You were offered a pre-removal risk assessment
A PRRA is decided on paper by an officer, not at a hearing. What you write is the entire case, and the timelines attached to it are short.
Short. The timeline is set out in your notification
Someone was stopped at the airport
The detained person usually has no phone. If you are the relative making this search, you are the one who can act. The first review comes fast.
48 hours to the first detention review
Your spouse or family member was refused
A sponsor is the appellant at the Immigration Appeal Division. Sponsorship appeals rose from 2,495 filings in 2024 to 3,360 in 2025, the fastest growing category in the system.
Deadlines apply from the date of the decision
You were told to report for removal
Removals reached 23,160 in 2025 and 14,897 in the first eight months of 2026. Options narrow quickly once a removal date is set.
Act immediately, do not wait for the date
You have a refugee hearing coming up
259,085 claims were pending in August 2026 and a claim took about 24 months from referral to decision. The wait is long, and then the hearing is everything.
