Receiving a refusal from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) can be disheartening—but it may not be the end of the road. If you’ve received a negative decision on a spousal sponsorship, permanent residency, removal order, or residency obligation, you may have the right to appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada.
At Sunder Law, we represent clients in complex immigration appeals with strategic planning, detailed case review, and persuasive advocacy. We help you challenge errors, present new evidence, and defend your right to remain in or reunite with loved ones in Canada.
Whether you're appealing a spousal sponsorship refusal or contesting a removal order, we design a tailored approach that reflects the facts and legal grounds unique to your situation.
We carefully examine the reasons for refusal, identify legal or procedural errors, and prepare submissions that directly address those deficiencies with strong supporting evidence.
From preparing your appeal record to representing you during the hearing, we advocate on your behalf with clarity and professionalism to present the strongest case possible.
If an appeal is not available, we guide you through other options such as judicial review, reconsideration, or reapplying with stronger documentation, ensuring you’re not left without a path forward.
An Immigration Appeal is a legal process where a refusal decision—such as a sponsorship denial or removal order—is reviewed by the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) to determine if it was made in error or can be overturned.
Common appealable matters include spousal sponsorship refusals, residency obligation breaches, and removal orders for permanent residents or protected persons. We review your case to confirm whether appeal rights apply.
You must typically file your notice of appeal within 30 days of receiving the decision. We handle this process immediately to preserve your right to appeal.
The hearing involves presenting evidence, questioning witnesses, and making legal submissions. The IAD member will review the case and decide whether to uphold or overturn the original decision.
Yes. The IAD allows new evidence and testimony. This can strengthen your case—especially with expert opinions or updated documents.
Success depends on the facts of your case, the legal argument, and how well it’s presented. At Sunder Law, we ensure your case is supported by compelling evidence and clear legal reasoning.
Not all decisions are appealable. In such cases, you may still have options such as judicial review or reapplication. We help identify the most viable route based on your specific situation.
