Right of Appeal

​A refusal of a family sponsorship application by an immigration officer is not always the end of the line. You have right to appeal the decision to the IAD in order to explain why the application should be accepted. You have 30 days after receiving the refusal letter to file an appeal.

No Appeal Right

In some circumstances, you may be deemed not to have a right to an appeal. There are several reasons as to why someone cannot appeal their case to the IAD, such as if the person you are sponsoring was found inadmissible to Canada because of being alleged to have committed serious crime, alleged to be a national security threat, alleged to have violated human or international rights, or being suspected to have been part of an organized crime.
