Brij Mohan & Associates provides access to immigration lawyers in Canada through offices in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario. Our legal team assists with applications, refusals, appeals, inadmissibility concerns, hearings and temporary or permanent status.
Canadian immigration law can affect where a person may live, work or remain with family. Clear legal advice can help you understand the process and make informed decisions.
An Immigration Lawyer can identify the correct process, explain required evidence, review forms and records, and address issues affecting eligibility or admissibility.
For a refused or contested matter, a lawyer may assess whether an appeal, judicial review, reconsideration request or new application may be available.
Select a category, then open any service to read the complete information.
Reviews, urgent enforcement matters and discretionary relief.
An immigration refusal should be reviewed carefully. The written reasons, application record, evidence submitted and any procedural concerns may help determine the next step. Deadlines can be short, so legal advice should be obtained promptly.
The Immigration Appeal Division hears certain sponsorship, removal order and residency obligation appeals. Federal Court judicial review may be available for other immigration, refugee or citizenship decisions. Judicial review is not a new application or a new hearing on every fact. The court reviews the legality and reasonableness of the decision-making process under the applicable legal framework.
We can explain the available route, the evidence that may be used and the possible outcomes. No appeal or review result can be promised.
Removal and border matters may involve the Canada Border Services Agency, an admissibility hearing, a removal order or a request to enter Canada. Urgent advice may be required when a person is detained, scheduled for removal or questioned about admissibility.
The possible response depends on the type of order, status, appeal rights, enforcement stage and other legal proceedings. A person should not ignore notices or assume that another application automatically stops enforcement.
The Immigration Division reviews most immigration detentions. The early review takes place quickly, and the decision-maker considers whether detention should continue or release should be ordered, sometimes with conditions.
A release proposal may address identity, appearance for proceedings, public-safety concerns and suitable alternatives to detention. Families should obtain advice promptly so that evidence and a practical plan can be prepared.
Humanitarian and compassionate applications ask immigration authorities to consider personal circumstances and hardship under the applicable law. Relevant evidence may involve establishment in Canada, family relationships, the best interests of affected children, health concerns and conditions in another country.
This process is discretionary and fact-specific. It is not a substitute for every other immigration process and does not automatically stop removal.
Visitor, study and work authorization matters.
Temporary residence matters may involve visitor visas, Super Visas, extensions, restoration questions or temporary resident permits. The application should explain the purpose of travel and address the requirements that apply to the applicant.
A prior refusal, immigration history, family ties, finances, travel history or admissibility concern may require additional explanation. The right approach depends on the refusal reasons and the evidence available.
A work permit lawyer can advise workers and employers about employer-specific or open work permit pathways. Some applications require a Labour Market Impact Assessment, while others may rely on an exemption under an international agreement, public policy or mobility program.
People sometimes use the phrase Canadian work visa lawyer, although Canadian immigration documents distinguish between a work permit and a visa used for travel. The documents required depend on nationality, proposed work and the immigration pathway.
Brij Mohan & Associates assists with employer and worker concerns involving work permits, LMIA-supported employment, CUSMA-related strategies, intra-company mobility and other available programs. Eligibility, documentation and timing depend on the specific pathway.
Economic, family, business and residency pathways.
We can help assess options under Express Entry, the Canadian Experience Class, Provincial Nominee Programs, regional pathways or other available categories. Each program has its own requirements, and selection criteria may change.
The review may include work history, education, language results, provincial nomination, family information, admissibility and prior applications. A lawyer from Brij Mohan & Associates can also help identify inconsistencies or missing evidence before submission.
Canadian citizens and permanent residents may be able to sponsor eligible family members for permanent residence. Family sponsorship can include a spouse, partner, dependent child and, when the applicable program is available, certain other relatives.
A sponsorship file may require evidence of the relationship, financial information, civil-status records and answers about previous relationships or applications. If a family sponsorship is refused, the sponsor may have a right of appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division, depending on the case.
Program availability and requirements can change. A lawyer from Brij Mohan & Associates can review the proposed route and help the applicant understand the documents and legal issues involved.
Permanent residents must comply with the residency obligation in Canadian immigration law. A negative decision about a permanent resident travel document or a removal order based on residency may carry a right of appeal.
Evidence can include time spent in Canada, permitted time abroad, humanitarian considerations and the effect on family members. The correct process depends on whether the person is inside or outside Canada and on the decision received.
Criminal, medical, financial and misrepresentation concerns.
A criminal charge or conviction may affect a person’s ability to enter or remain in Canada. The result can depend on the foreign or Canadian offence, its Canadian equivalent, the sentence, the time that has passed and other circumstances.
Possible issues may involve criminal rehabilitation, deemed rehabilitation, a record suspension or a temporary resident permit. These are different processes. An immigration inadmissibility lawyer can review the history and explain which option may be relevant.
As admissibility counsel, a lawyer can compare the foreign conduct with Canadian law, review the record and explain the evidence that may be required.
Brij Mohan & Associates practises both Canadian immigration law and criminal defence. This allows the team to identify immigration consequences before a plea or other important criminal-case decision.
A person may be found inadmissible for reasons that include medical concerns, financial reasons, security issues, misrepresentation or failure to comply with immigration law. The legal test and available response depend on the ground alleged.
When procedural fairness concerns are raised, the response should be complete, accurate and supported by relevant evidence. Guessing, omitting information or submitting altered records can create further problems.
Misrepresentation allegations may arise from information that an officer believes was false, incomplete or withheld. The issue may involve an application form, relationship history, employment, education, finances, criminal history or a document submitted by the applicant or representative.
These allegations can have serious consequences. We can review the record, identify what information is in dispute and help prepare a response or challenge when an available legal process exists.
Protection claims, appeals and citizenship matters.
The Refugee Protection Division hears and decides eligible claims for refugee protection made in Canada. Claimants must provide forms, documents and testimony that address the legal test and their personal circumstances.
A refugee lawyer can help prepare the claim, review evidence and represent the claimant at a hearing. After an unfavourable decision, possible next steps may include an appeal to the Refugee Appeal Division or judicial review, depending on eligibility and the facts.
Citizenship services may involve applications, proof of citizenship, delays, refusals, appeals or revocation concerns. Eligibility rules can include permanent resident status, physical presence, tax filing, language and knowledge requirements, with exceptions in some circumstances.
Citizenship law has changed over time, especially for some people born outside Canada. Applicants should confirm the current rules that apply to their date of birth, parentage and immigration history.
We review your history, objective, status, deadlines and available documents.
We identify the correct pathway, legal issues, risks and evidence requirements.
We prepare a consistent application, response, appeal or court record.
We advocate before immigration authorities, tribunals or courts when required.
1. Read the refusal letter and record the date it was received.
2. Review the reasons and evidence before submitting the same application again.
3. Confirm the correct legal route—appeal, Federal Court review, reconsideration or a new application.
4. Preserve the complete file, including every form, document, message and decision record.
Immigration appeals and judicial reviews may have strict filing deadlines. Obtain advice promptly after receiving a refusal, removal notice or other negative decision.
No appeal or review result can be promised. Every case depends on its facts, evidence and applicable law.

When you are unsure about the correct process, have a prior refusal or inadmissibility concern, face a deadline, or need representation at a hearing or court proceeding.
No. A lawyer can identify legal issues, prepare evidence and present the case clearly, but the responsible officer, tribunal or court decides the result.
Possible options may include an appeal, judicial review, reconsideration request or a new application. The correct response depends on the decision, reasons, evidence and deadline.
Yes. A lawyer may represent a person in an immigration, refugee or citizenship judicial review, subject to specific filing rules and deadlines.
It may. Criminal inadmissibility depends on the offence, Canadian equivalent, sentence, time passed and other factors.
