Rejected Permanent Residency Cases

About This Service

The Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) hears certain sponsorship appeals, residency-obligation appeals, and appeals from removal orders involving permanent residents or protected persons. The available remedy, filing deadline, and evidence depend on the decision and the statutory right of appeal.

Eligibility

In most sponsorship refusal cases, the sponsor can file a Notice of Appeal within 30 days of receiving the decision. Some cases, including serious inadmissibility cases, may have limited or excluded right to appeal. Before taking action, the text of the decision and the applicable statutory provision should be carefully checked.

Professional Fees

Professional fees are determined after reviewing the applicant’s circumstances, immigration history, number of family members, the complexity of the matter, and the scope of services required. To receive an assessment and fee information, please book a professional consultation. After the assessment, the services, professional fees, and payment terms will be confirmed in a written retainer agreement.

Government processing fees, biometrics, medical examinations, translations, credential assessments, courier charges, and other third-party costs are separate from professional fees unless the written agreement expressly states otherwise.
