As a permanent resident, you are required to be physically present in Canada for at least 730 days within a five-year period. If an immigration officer determines that you have not met this residency obligation, you may be issued a departure order, risking the loss of your PR status and everything you have built in Canada.
However, a negative decision can be challenged. You have the right to appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD), but acting quickly and decisively is essential.
Why Choose an Experienced Legal Professional?
Losing your permanent resident status can be an incredibly stressful and overwhelming experience. By choosing an experienced legal team, you gain access to prompt, clear communication and a supportive environment when you need it most.
We are deeply familiar with the procedures of the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) and are committed to fighting for your right to remain in Canada.
How We Build a Strong Appeal
- Legal exceptions: We investigate whether your time spent outside Canada qualifies as valid under IRCC rules (e.g., accompanying a Canadian citizen spouse or working full-time for a Canadian business abroad).
- Humanitarian and compassionate factors: We highlight crucial elements such as the extent of your establishment in Canada, the reasons for your absence, and the hardship that deportation would cause to you and your family.
- Best Interests of a child: If children are involved, we strongly emphasize the negative impact your removal would have on their well-being.
- Representation at the immigration appeal division (IAD): We act as your steadfast advocates, presenting your evidence and arguments clearly and persuasively before the tribunal.
