If your application with reference to the Canadian immigration matters was denied, there may be a way to appeal its refusal.

You may consider starting appeal proceedings in the following cases: 

• Your refugee claim was denied by the Refugee Protection Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board.
• Your application under the family class, skilled worker, business immigration or any other category was denied by Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
• You received a removal order from the Immigration Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board or from the Canada Border Services Agency.

Please be aware that there are some time limitations that apply to immigration appeal processes. The following are examples of those limitations:

• Federal Skilled Worker Application: A denied federal skilled worker application must be appealed within 60 days from the date on which the applicant was notified of or otherwise became aware of the denial. For example, if you receive a negative decision on March 1, you have to file an application to the Federal Court by April 29.
• Family Class Sponsorship: A sponsor has 30 calendar days from the date of receipt of a denied sponsorship application to file an appeal notice.
• Removal Order Issued to a Permanent Resident: If you are a permanent resident of Canada and have been issued a removal order due to allegations in inadmissibility to Canada, you have 30 days from the date of receipt of a removal order to file an appeal notice.

Please note that the above stated is just general information with reference to Canadian immigration appeal proceedings. You may wish to contact us to further discuss your situation.
