Appeals
In the immigration and refugee process in Canada, an appeal refers to the process by which an individual challenges a decision made by immigration authorities. If an application for immigration or refugee status is refused, the applicant may have the right to appeal the decision to a higher authority or tribunal.
The appeal process provides an opportunity for individuals to present new and significant evidence or arguments to challenge the initial decision. The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) typically manages appeals, and the process involves specific procedures and timelines. Seeking legal advice from an authorized immigration practitioner is advisable for navigating the complexities of the appeal process and enhancing the likelihood of a successful outcome.
