Challenging Canadian Immigration Refusals in Federal Court

When IRCC or the IRB gets it wrong, Ayodele Law is here to help you fight back.

If your immigration application has been unfairly refused or you're facing removal from Canada, you may have the right to challenge that decision in Federal Court through a process known as judicial review. At Ayodele Law, we represent clients across Canada in complex immigration litigation and judicial reviews of IRCC, IRB, and CBSA decisions.

What Is a Judicial Review?

A judicial review is a legal challenge of a decision made by a government body—such as Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB), or the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). It is not a full re-hearing of your case, but the Federal Court will examine whether:

  • The decision was unreasonable or unlawful

  • You were denied procedural fairness

  • The officer or tribunal made a legal error

If successful, the Court can overturn the decision and order it to be reconsidered by a different officer or board member.

Common Immigration Cases We Take to Federal Court

At Ayodele Law, we assist with a wide range of federal court immigration matters, including:

  • Visitor visa refusals

  • Study or work permit denials

  • Permanent residence application refusals

  • Sponsorship appeals

  • Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) application rejections

  • Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) denials

  • Failed refugee claims or deportation orders

  • Detention reviews and inadmissibility rulings

Timelines Are Critical

You have a limited time to act:

  • 15 days to file a judicial review for decisions made in Canada

  • 60 days for decisions made outside Canada

Missing the deadline may mean you lose the right to appeal, so it’s important to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.
