Rejected Student, Work, and Tourist Visa Cases

Introduction

This service is conducted in collaboration with respected lawyers from the Canadian Bar Association, who are members of the relevant provincial bar associations in Canada, representing the valued clients of this organization. It is important to note that if our office has recommended that your case be referred to the Federal Court for judicial review, this signifies that the case meets all conditions, standards, and quality criteria necessary for approval and visa issuance. Otherwise, given our meticulous and sensitive approach to case preparation and submission to the immigration authorities, the file would not have been submitted.

Currently, for most refused cases, the decisions made—based on the decision-making authority noted at the end of the refusal letter—are systemic decisions processed using artificial intelligence. These decisions are often not made after a thorough review of the file, its information, contents, and accompanying documents.

GHINOOK and AI Decision Making

Canada’s Immigration Department has recently introduced an artificial intelligence system, in addition to the well-known CHINOOK system located at the Case Processing Centre in Ottawa, to process immigration applications. This system uses predefined filters, and its key decision-making factors include the political, economic, and social stability of the applicant’s passport-issuing country, the number of trips made outside the home country, the presence of friends, relatives, and acquaintances in Canada, financial capability, marital status, financial and emotional ties to the home country, as well as other factors such as previous refusals of the applicant’s cases, if any. Additionally, this system considers various other factors, such as Canada’s economic situation at the time of decision-making, the number of visas issued, diplomatic relations between countries, and other variables. Unfortunately, many of these variables are beyond the applicant’s control, leading to decisions being made without sufficient consideration of the specific details and documentation of the case. These decisions are unjust and legally unfair, warranting referral to Canadian judicial authorities for a judicial review.

A judicial review request is processed by a high-ranking judge in Canada’s Federal Court. If the system’s decision-making error is identified, the recent decision will be legally challenged, leading to the “removal of rejection,” as legally referred to.

Currently, our legal and immigration firm has successfully handled judicial review requests for over hundreds of similar cases in Canada’s Federal Court, achieving a success rate of over 90%. However, as you are aware, no legal guarantees can be provided for a favorable outcome in a court of law, as such guarantees are against the law.

Deadlines

Please note that under Federal Court rules, there is a 60-calendar-day deadline from the time you receive access to the refusal letter to submit a judicial review request. If this deadline is missed, it will no longer be possible to proceed with the review request.

If the Federal Court judge issues a decision to remove the rejection or if a settlement proposal is received from the opposing counsel, the recent refusal decision will be annulled. This will signify a win for us as your legal representatives and the conclusion of the case at the Federal Court. In this scenario, the case will be returned to the immigration authorities, and a new officer will be assigned to review the file and its documentation thoroughly. At this stage, the possible outcomes include the direct issuance of a visa or a request for updated information and supporting documents for a new decision to be made.

• Professional Fee

• Amount of $3,050 CA for a family including all members listed in the file. (This fee covers the service charge for filing the case with the Federal Court in collaboration with one of Canada’s legal associations and includes government fees and Federal Court stamp duties. This amount does not include the cost of updating documents after the court’s decision. If the case is won in court and referred back to Immigration Canada for reconsideration, a new contract will be required.)

  • Only 30% of the stated fee is allocated to our organization, with the remaining amount covering the costs of Federal Court stamp duties, preparing a detailed and specialized submission, and compensating the lawyers involved in the case.
