Compelling Action on Delayed Immigration Decisions
Canadian immigration applications sometimes seem endlessly stuck without decisions being made. We understand the frustration that comes with such situations.
Legal remedies exist to compel action. Our experienced immigration lawyers can guide you through pursuing applications for court orders or writs of mandamus.
Understanding Orders and Mandamus Relief
Court orders and mandamus relief force government bodies and administrative decision makers to act when they improperly fail to make statutorily obligated decisions. This legal tool applies for unreasonably delayed visa and immigration applications.
A writ of mandamus is a judicial remedy to compel a public authority to perform its duty under the law. In immigration law, a writ of mandamus can be sought when IRCC does not process the application within a reasonable time (meaning that there is an unreasonable delay in processing), or when there is an implicit refusal to process an immigration application. This can apply to various immigration programs in Canada, including Canadian Study Permits, Work Permits, Visitor Visas, and Canada PR applications.
Our Proven Record Compelling Decisions
With years of experience, we have sought mandamus relief for clients across multiple visa categories facing unreasonable delay including work permits, study permits, temporary resident visas, permanent residence applicants, citizenship applications, and others.
We have a high success rate in achieving court orders that then swiftly unblock delays in processing, resulting in decisions within set deadlines.
Why Retaining Us Improves Outcomes
Pursuing applications for a court order without legal support causes applicants to often:
- Miss submission deadlines impacting eligibility for relief consideration
- Fail to build sufficiently persuasive arguments warranting intervention
