A Refusal Is Not Always the Final Word.

Receiving a refusal from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada or the Immigration and Refugee Board is a serious and often frightening development. But in many cases, a refusal is not the end of the road. The appropriate response depends on the type of decision, the reasons stated, and the stage of the application. At Karim Immigration Inc., we provide strategic analysis of refused files and develop a considered, practical plan for challenging or addressing the decision — while being honest about which options are viable and which are not.

Why Acting Without Informed Advice After a Refusal Carries Real Risk

The options available after a refusal — reconsideration, appeal, judicial review, or a new application — vary significantly depending on the type of decision and the reasons given. Acting without a thorough understanding of those reasons, and without clear advice on the legal options available, can mean pursuing an avenue that is unlikely to succeed while a more appropriate remedy goes unused. Time limits apply to many post-refusal options, including appeals and applications for leave and judicial review. Early and informed professional advice is not optional — it is essential.
