Services
Appeals, Refusals and detention
Our services include gathering and verifying all relevant facts, preparing detailed narratives, affidavits, and supporting documentation, and coaching clients for hearings. We prepare you to testify confidently, address credibility concerns, and navigate procedural requirements.
Finally, we represent you before the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB), advocating on your behalf throughout appeals, refugee claims, detention reviews, and other related proceedings.
The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) is Canada's largest independent administrative tribunal. It is responsible for making well-reasoned decisions on immigration and refugee matters, efficiently, fairly and in accordance with the law.
- The Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) hears appeals on immigration-related matters, including sponsorships, removal orders and residency obligations. Members of the public can attend most immigration appeal hearings.
- The Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) considers appeals of decisions made by the Refugee Protection Division (RPD) to allow or reject claims for refugee protection. The RAD hears 2 kinds of appeals:
- Appeals from refugee claimants (claim was denied by the RPD), and
Minister’s appeals (claim was approved by the RPD, and the Minister's appealing that decision).
When your hearing has been scheduled, you or your counsel will receive a Notice to Appear. The notice will include the date and time of your hearing. All IRB hearings are scheduled as virtual by default.
Each division of the IRB is responsible for making decisions on different immigration or refugee matters. To make their decisions, they follow an administrative tribunal process. This process is like what happens in a court, but less formal.
