Canadian Immigration Litigation

We take great pride in fighting for our clients’ rights to a fair and just decision. Our comprehensive litigation experience allows us to not only confidently challenge decisions, but also enables us to prepare initial immigration or refugee applications to a high standard. Having successfully litigated a wide range of matters, we have a close understanding of how effective applications need to be prepared. We see the big picture and are able to anticipate and deal with issues preemptively, thereby increasing the chances of initial approval.

In some cases, we know that the case or application will likely be denied and are in fact setting it up for an appeal or a judicial review, ensuring that the necessary evidence is admitted, or ensuring that a breach of procedural fairness is captured clearly. 

When assisting clients with complex matters, we explain that while the application is addressed to an immigration officer, our submission package is preemptively prepared to a high standard which will allow us to effectively present your case at the Federal Court in the strongest possible fashion, should such a need arise.

While we take pride in the litigation part of our practice, we are committed to doing the best for our clients, and we recognize that litigation is not always the best option. In some instances, it makes sense to re-apply and address the issues that led to the denial. When practical or possible, it is also advisable to submit a reconsideration request. In other instances, it makes sense to commence litigation proceedings to ensure that a client’s procedural rights are preserved.

Contact us today if you have received a procedural fairness letter or your application has been denied so that we can help you determine the best pathway forward. We hold consultations in our Toronto office as well as, over the phone, and via video conferencing services such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom.
