Deferral Request Application
Facing removal from Canada? Ayodele Law helps clients file Deferral of Removal requests to temporarily stop deportation while new evidence or applications are being reviewed.
Understanding Deferral Request Applications in Canadian Immigration
If you’ve received a decision or notice from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) but need more time to respond or take necessary action, you might consider submitting a deferral request application. At Ayodele Law, we help clients navigate this process to ensure their immigration goals stay on track.
What is a Deferral Request Application?
A deferral request application is a formal request to delay a deadline set by IRCC, such as:
Responding to a request for additional documents or information
Attending a scheduled interview or medical exam
Complying with a removal order or deportation
This request must include valid reasons explaining why you need more time and how the deferral will not harm the immigration process.
When Should You Submit a Deferral Request?
You should submit a deferral request as soon as you realize you cannot meet an IRCC deadline. Common reasons include:
Medical emergencies
Difficulty obtaining required documents due to circumstances beyond your control
Unexpected travel restrictions or delays
Personal or family hardships
How to Submit a Deferral Request
Write a clear, concise letter or application outlining your reasons and supporting evidence.
Submit the request through the appropriate IRCC channel, following their instructions carefully.
Consult with an immigration lawyer to increase the chances of approval and ensure your request meets IRCC standards.

Common Mistakes When Requesting a Deferral
Many people who file a deferral request without legal guidance accidentally weaken their application. Common mistakes include failing to provide supporting documents, not explaining how the delay will impact ongoing immigration matters, or waiting until the very last moment to file the request. Immigration officers must be persuaded that the delay is justified and reasonable.
At Ayodele Law, we help clients avoid these pitfalls by drafting clear, persuasive submissions supported by medical records, travel evidence, or updated documentation. We ensure your communication with IRCC is professional, respectful, and backed by the facts that matter most. A properly prepared request can often make the difference between having your removal deferred or being forced to leave Canada before your situation is resolved.
