Appeals

If an application is refused, you can appeal the officer’s decision in Immigration Appeal Division.

Some of the common examples of appeal include, but not limited to:

Appeal for Residency obligations- Permanent resident of Canada, does not meet the minimum residency requirement of 730 days in Canada, within their 5 years period.

Appeals for family class sponsorship applications.

Appeal for removal order issued against a Permanent Resident, refugee or a protected person.

The decision of IAD varies depend on the situation. The officer has discretion to consider Humanitarian and Compassionate grounds to overturn the regulation.
