Our team reviews your refusal letter, identifies the main concerns in your previous application, and helps determine whether your case may be suitable for Federal Court review or a stronger reapplication
Judicial review deadlines may be limited. Submit your refusal date for an initial eligibility assessment.
Federal Court applications generally must be filed within 15 days for matters arising in Canada or 60 days for matters arising outside Canada, from the date you were notified of the decision.
Our assessment helps you understand the reason for the refusal and the most appropriate next step.
We review your basic information, visa type, refusal date and refusal letter.
We identify whether time-sensitive Federal Court options may still be available.
We examine the officer’s stated concerns and the information submitted in your application.
Where appropriate, the decision is assessed for possible legal, factual or procedural fairness concerns.
We explain whether Federal Court review, reapplication or another approach may be more suitable.
You receive clear guidance on the documents, process and professional support required to move forward.

Common questions about Canada visa refusals and reapplication.
Canada visa applications may be refused because of concerns about finances, travel purpose, home-country ties, employment, travel history, documentation or other eligibility factors.
Reapplication may be suitable when the application can be improved with stronger documents or clearer explanations. Federal Court review may be considered when the decision appears unreasonable or may involve an error in law, fact or procedural fairness.
No. Judicial review examines whether the decision was made fairly, lawfully and reasonably. It is not a new visa application.
The filing deadline may be as short as 15 days for a matter arising inside Canada or 60 days for a matter arising outside Canada. The exact deadline depends on the circumstances.
The Federal Court does not normally issue the visa itself. A successful case may result in the previous decision being set aside and the application being returned for reconsideration.
In many situations, applicants can submit a new application. However, reapplying without addressing the original refusal reasons may lead to another refusal.
Uploading the refusal letter is recommended, but it is optional in the initial form.
No immigration company, consultant or lawyer can guarantee visa approval or a successful Federal Court outcome.
