When a Decision Was Made in Error, a Focused Reconsideration Can Correct the Record.

When Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada makes a decision based on a misapprehension of the evidence, a material error of fact, or a procedural unfairness, a Reconsideration Request offers a mechanism to ask the officer or IRCC to re-examine that decision. Unlike an appeal or judicial review, a reconsideration is an administrative request submitted directly to IRCC. It must clearly and precisely identify the specific error and provide the evidence or argument needed to support a different outcome. At Karim Immigration Inc., we prepare focused, targeted reconsideration requests that address the decision directly.

Why Precision Matters More Than Volume in a Reconsideration Request

A reconsideration request is not an opportunity to resubmit the original application or to express general disagreement with the officer's decision. It must identify a specific and identifiable error: new evidence that was not available at the time of the decision, a material misstatement of fact by the officer, or a procedural unfairness in how the decision was made. A request that merely repeats prior arguments without identifying a clear ground for reconsideration will not succeed. Precise, professionally written requests that identify the error with specificity significantly improve the prospect of a positive outcome.
