Judicial Reviews

Judicial Review

A judicial review is a legal process where the Federal Court of Canada reviews an immigration decision to determine whether it was made fairly and in accordance with the law. If an immigration officer or tribunal made an error or acted unreasonably, you may challenge the decision through a judicial review.

When Can You Apply for a Judicial Review?

You may be eligible for a judicial review if you received an unfair or incorrect decision on:
✔ Refugee claims and asylum applications
✔ Work, study, or visitor visa refusals
✔ Permanent residence rejections (Express Entry, sponsorship, H&C applications)
✔ Immigration appeals and enforcement decisions
✔ Stay of removal and deportation orders

What Does the Federal Court Look For?

The Federal Court does not re-evaluate your case but determines if:

  • The decision followed proper legal procedures
  • There was a reasonable basis for refusal
  • The immigration officer made factual or legal errors
  • You were not given a fair hearing
How VISAVoy Can Help

At VISAVoy, our experienced immigration lawyers can:

✔ Assess whether your case qualifies for a judicial review

✔ File a strong application to challenge an unfair decision

✔ Represent you in Federal Court hearings

If you believe your immigration case was handled unfairly, don’t wait. Contact us today to discuss your options for a judicial review.

Stay Of Removal


A Stay of Removal is a legal order that temporarily halts the deportation of an individual from Canada. It is typically granted in situations where there are ongoing legal challenges, appeals, or humanitarian reasons that justify delaying the removal.

Who Can Apply for a Stay of Removal?

Individuals facing deportation may request a stay under the following circumstances:

  • Pending Legal Proceedings – If you have filed an appeal, judicial review, or other legal action challenging your removal.
  • New Evidence or Circumstances – If significant new information arises that could impact your immigration status.
  • Humanitarian & Compassionate Grounds – If your removal would cause extreme hardship to you or your family in Canada.
  • Medical or Safety Concerns – If you or a dependent has a serious medical condition that cannot be treated in your home country.
  • Risk Assessment – If there is a new threat to your safety in your home country.
Why is a Stay of Removal Important?

A stay provides temporary protection from deportation, allowing individuals time to resolve their legal matters or present new evidence to remain in Canada. Without it, removal orders are enforced, and individuals may be deported before their legal case is heard.

How Can VISAVoy Help?

At VISAVoy, our experienced immigration lawyers can: 

✔ Assess your eligibility for a Stay of Removal

✔ File an urgent application to prevent removal

✔ Represent you in Federal Court and immigration appeals

✔ Build a strong legal case to protect your rights in Canada

If you're facing deportation, contact us immediately for legal support. Time is critical when applying for a Stay of Removal.

Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) Applications in Canada

A Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) application is a special pathway for individuals who do not qualify for permanent residence under regular immigration programs but have exceptional personal circumstances that justify their stay in Canada. The Canadian government considers these applications on a case-by-case basis to determine if removal would cause undue hardship.

Who Can Apply for an H&C Application?

H&C applications are designed for individuals who:
✔ Have significant hardship if forced to leave Canada
✔ Have strong family ties in Canada, such as a Canadian spouse or children
✔ Have integrated into Canadian society through work, education, or community involvement
✔ Have been in Canada for an extended period without status
✔ Have children whose well-being would be negatively affected by removal
✔ Face adverse conditions in their home country that make return difficult

Who Cannot Apply?

H&C applications cannot be used if:
✘ You have already submitted a refugee claim that was refused within the last 12 months
✘ You are currently under a removal order and haven’t applied for a stay
✘ You are trying to apply on behalf of someone outside Canada

How VISAVoy Can Help

At VISAVoy, we specialize in building strong H&C cases to maximize your chances of success. Our experienced team can:

✔ Gather compelling evidence to support your application

✔ Prepare detailed legal submissions tailored to your situation

✔ Advocate for your case with Canadian immigration authorities

If you or a loved one are facing hardship and need to stay in Canada, contact us today for expert legal assistance.

Mandamus Applications in Canada

A Mandamus application is a legal remedy used to compel the government to process an immigration or visa application that has been unreasonably delayed. If you have been waiting an excessive amount of time for a decision on your application, a writ of mandamus can force Canadian immigration authorities to take action.

When Can You Apply for a Mandamus Order?

You may be eligible for a Mandamus application if:
✔ Your immigration or visa application has been pending for an unreasonable amount of time
✔ You have met all requirements for your application and submitted complete documents
✔ There are no valid reasons for the delay
✔ You have followed up multiple times with IRCC but received no response
✔ The delay is causing you serious harm, such as job loss, family separation, or travel restrictions

Why is a Mandamus Application Important?

A Mandamus application does not guarantee approval of your visa or immigration case, but it forces timely action from IRCC. This is an essential legal tool for those suffering from extreme delays.

What Types of Immigration Applications Can Mandamus Be Used For?

A Mandamus order can be filed for delays in:

  • Permanent residence applications (Express Entry, Family Sponsorship, H&C applications)
  • Temporary residence visas (Work, Study, Visitor)
  • Citizenship applications
  • Refugee protection cases
  • Immigration appeals and hearings
How VISAVoy Can Help

At VISAVoy, our expert legal team can:

✔ Review your case and determine if a Mandamus application is the right solution

✔ Draft and submit a strong Mandamus petition to the Federal Court

✔ Advocate on your behalf to speed up your immigration process

Refugee Claims in Canada

A refugee claim is a legal application for protection in Canada by individuals who cannot return to their home countrydue to a well-founded fear of persecution, violence, or harm. Canada provides protection to refugees under both international law and its own immigration policies, ensuring the safety of those at risk.

Who Can Make a Refugee Claim?

You may qualify to apply for refugee status in Canada if you:
✔ Face persecution in your home country due to your race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or social group
✔ Are at risk of torture, cruel treatment, or death if you return
✔ Cannot receive protection from your government
✔ Are already in Canada or at a Canadian port of entry

Who Cannot Apply for a Refugee Claim?

Your claim may not be eligible if:
✘ You have been convicted of serious crimes
✘ You have already made a previous refugee claim in Canada that was refused
✘ You have received protection in another country and can return there
✘ You entered Canada through a Safe Third Country Agreement (such as from the U.S.)
