Sponsorship Appeal at the IRB – Don’t Lose Hope!
Having a family sponsorship application refused can be devastating, whether it be your spouse, parent(s), common-law partner or child. You’ve worked hard to bring your loved ones to Canada, only to face an unexpected rejection. But there’s good news—you may be able to appeal the decision to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) of the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB).
At Alexander Immigration Services, we understand how important family reunification is. That’s why we are here to help you fight for your case. Our licensed immigration consultant, Hemalatha Alexander, holds a special IRB license, allowing us to represent you before the IAD and guide you through the appeal process with confidence.
What Happens in a Sponsorship Appeal?
✔ File the appeal – You have 30 days from the refusal to submit a Notice of Appeal.
✔ Gather evidence – We help you strengthen your case with new documents, legal arguments, and witness testimonies.
✔ Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) – If eligible, this step can resolve the case without a full hearing.
✔ The IAD hearing – We present your case before a tribunal member and argue why the refusal should be overturned.
✔ Decision – If successful, your case will be sent back for reconsideration, giving your loved one another chance to be sponsored.
You don’t have to go through this alone. Let us help you navigate the appeal and fight for your family’s future in Canada.
