At Sikand Law, we can appeal your case if it has been refused for reasons that cannot be justified. If the decision cannot be reconsidered by Immigration, an appeal may be filed to the Federal Court or the Immigration Appeal Division, depending on the type of decision.
The time to file an appeal may be as short as 15 days from the date the
decision is received. If an application has been refused, it is important
to consult a lawyer as soon as possible.

Sponsorship Refusals

Medical Inadmissibility refusals

Humanitarian and Compassionate factors that should be considered in the
appeal.
Criminal Inadmissibility
Where an Officer has determined that you have committed, or are likely to
commit, particular criminal offences inside or outside of Canada, you may
be criminally inadmissible. Humanitarian and Compassionate factors may be
taken into consideration in an appeal.
Skilled Workers refusals
May be due to inaccurate assessments of education, language skills, work
experience, settlement funds or other factors due to poor documentation,
or an unsuccessful interview.
Business Immigrants refusals
An officer may find the applicant does not have required “business
experience” or evidence of how assets were legally obtained.
Entrepreneur Condition Removals
If the Immigration officer finds that you didn’t invest in and be
actively managing a qualifying business within the 2 or 3 year time condition,
you could be ordered deported. We can often negotiate an extension of time
to comply for our clients.
