Other Appeals
In our service offering from India, we assist individuals in navigating various processes for appeals at the Immigration Appeal Division. These appeal processes vary depending on the nature of the decision being contested. Here are the key types of appeals:
Sponsorship Appeals
As a permanent resident or Canadian citizen in India, if your application to sponsor a close relative for immigration to Canada is rejected by the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), you have the option to appeal this decision at the Immigration Appeal Division. However, it’s important to note that not all sponsorship applications are eligible for appeal.
Removal Order Appeals
In cases where immigration authorities issue a removal order against a permanent Canadian resident, typically due to reasons such as misrepresentation or involvement in serious criminal activities, an appeal can be filed to request permission to remain in Canada and maintain their permanent resident status. It’s crucial to understand that this avenue may not be successful if the individual has been convicted of a serious felony, in which case imprisonment for up to 6 months may apply, particularly if the crime involves organized crime or violations of human and international rights.
Residency Obligation Appeals
Permanent Canadian residents are obligated to maintain a physical presence in Canada for at least two years within every five-year period. Failure to meet this residency requirement can lead to a loss of permanent resident status. In cases where permanent residency is jeopardized due to non-compliance with residency obligations, individuals can appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division. If the appeal is granted, the permanent resident can retain their status.
We offer our services from India to provide guidance and support in the process of appealing immigration decisions, helping you understand your options and work towards your desired immigration outcome.
