Judicial Review of a Refused Visa or Permit

Was your study permit, work permit, visitor visa or permanent residence application refused? A judicial review asks the Federal Court of Canada to examine whether the officer’s decision was fair and reasonable. If the Court agrees with you, the refusal is set aside and your application is decided again by a different officer.

Deadlines are short

For a decision made inside Canada you may have only 15 days, and 60 days for a decision made outside Canada. Contact us as soon as you receive your refusal.

When does a judicial review make sense?

  • The officer ignored documents or evidence you submitted
  • The reasons for refusal do not match your file
  • The decision was made unfairly, for example without giving you a chance to respond to a concern
  • Refusals of study permits, work permits, visitor visas, super visas, spousal sponsorship and PR applications

How it works

1. Free review of your refusal letter and the officer’s notes (GCMS)

5. If the Court sides with you, your application goes back to IRCC for a new decision
