Judicial Review in Canadian Immigration

Judicial review in the Canadian immigration system is a crucial legal avenue overseen by the Federal Court. It serves to review decisions made by immigration officers, boards, or tribunals to ensure they comply with legal standards and procedural fairness. Unlike an appeal, judicial review does not re-examine the facts or evidence of your case but focuses on whether the decision was made within the decision-maker’s authority and was reasonable.

Understanding the Process

When applying for judicial review of your Canadian immigration application, you challenge a decision made by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) in the Federal Court of Canada. This process is intricate and demands specialized knowledge of immigration law, making legal representation essential for navigating its complexities effectively.

Initiating Your Judicial Review

To initiate the judicial review process with us at Farzan Fallah Law, follow these steps to help us prepare your Application Record promptly:

1. Access Your IRCC Portal:

   • Log in to your IRCC portal where your immigration application details are stored.

2. Retrieve Document List:

   • Navigate to your submitted application and select "view submitted application or upload documents."

   • Capture a screenshot of the list of documents previously submitted to IRCC as displayed on your screen.

3. Submit Required Documents:

   • Email the exact documents listed, along with the screenshot, to info@farzanfallahlaw.com.

   • Ensure document filenames and content match those in the screenshot precisely to avoid discrepancies.

4. For New Portal Users:

   • If you used the new portal, include the "summary" file from the messages section along with all other submitted documents.

Important Considerations:

• Document Integrity: It’s critical that submitted documents accurately reflect what was originally presented to the visa officer. Any discrepancies could impact the judicial review process.

• Role of Authorized Representatives: If you have an authorized representative, ensure they follow these steps on your behalf, maintaining clear communication and detailed instruction to facilitate efficient processing.
