Our Recent Immigration Success Stories

Overcoming Suspected Medical Inadmissibility for an Applicant with Leukemia

We recently worked on a case in which we prepared a Mitigation plan in consideration of suspected medical inadmissibility for an applicant with Leukemia. The individual was in Canada receiving ongoing treatment with expensive medication, funded by the province. We were able to assist in preparing a plan to mitigate the costs over the period under examination (5 years) with the assistance of both the provincial authorities and medical professional specialists here in Canada as well as complimentary research. We also included humanitarian and compassionate considerations that complimented the plan. Although it was a lengthy and involved process, we are pleased that the individual overcame the suggested inadmissibility finding and was granted permanent residence in Canada. We wish them the best of luck in Canada!

Application for Judicial Review Allowed

Prior to retaining our office, our client had requested Canada Border Services Agency to defer his removal from Canada, which was refused and an Application for Leave (“AFL”) and for a Judicial Review was filed. Once the AFL was allowed, we were contacted to assist with the Judicial Review hearing before the Federal Court. Our team reviewed the extensive record and did additional case law research in preparation for the hearing. We presented our oral arguments and learned shortly after that the Judge agreed with our position, allowing the Judicial Review. We are pleased that we were able to assist our client achieve such a great result and wish him all the best in his future endeavours.  

Joint Recommendation at the IAD allows our client to stay in Canada

Our client first came to us many years ago to assist with his hearings before the Immigration Division (“ID”) and the Immigration Appeal Division (“IAD”) of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (“IRB”). At that time, his removal from Canada was stayed for a set period of time and enforceable conditions were imposed on our client in order for him to remain in Canada.
Once ready for the redetermination of his removal order appeal, the client contacted us again to assist him with his matter before the IAD. We prepared our client and his witnesses extensively prior to the hearing and submitted a documentary disclosure in support of his appeal.
We are thrilled that we were able to come to a joint recommendation with Minister’s Counsel to extend our client’s stay of removal for an additional two years. We wish our client the best as he continues to build his life in Canada!

Humanitarian & Compassionate arguments in a Parental Sponsorship refusal case lead to successful PR!

Our client sought our help following the refusal of his application to Sponsor his Parents for Permanent Residence (PR), after an Officer determined that he failed to meet the minimum necessary income requirement. In support of his matter and in preparation for the hearing, we prepared a comprehensive documentary disclosure and conducted extensive client interviews.

On the date of the hearing, after testimony from our client, the Minister agreed to a joint recommendation to allow the appeal on humanitarian and compassionate grounds. The Member agreed, rendering a decision on the spot to allow the appeal. We are very pleased that we were able to assist our client in obtaining permanent resident status for his parents in Canada!
