Applications for Leave and Judicial Review
Challenging Immigration Decisions Through the Federal Court
When an immigration decision has been refused or a process has been affected by a legal or procedural error, an Application for Leave and Judicial Review may provide a way to ask the Federal Court of Canada to review the decision. Judicial review focuses on whether the decision was made lawfully, fairly, and reasonably; it is not simply a second opportunity to submit the same application.
Our immigration lawyers provide strategic legal representation for Federal Court matters, including reviewing the immigration decision, identifying potential legal or procedural errors, preparing the required court materials, and guiding clients through the judicial review process. Because strict court deadlines can apply, obtaining legal advice promptly after receiving a decision is important.
