Contesting Refusals and Processing Delays

We recognize that unjust refusals and lengthy processing delays can occur and should be addressed. With the advent of data analytics in immigration application processing by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), sometimes there can be erroneous decisions. Re-applying is one solution and another solution is contesting the negative decision.

At Middlemiss Immigration Law, we assist with applications for judicial review of negative decisions to the Federal Court of Canada. We have experience with applying to the Court for mandamus, an order to process, when immigration processing delays become protracted and beyond established markers.

We represent clients for appeals where a right of appeal exists to the Immigration Appeal Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada – for example in adverse residency decisions or in certain spousal sponsorship refusals.
