Immigration Representation for People, Families and Employers

As a Canadian immigration law firm, Brij Mohan & Associates represents individuals, families, workers, students, employers and business applicants. Our work ranges from preparing applications to representing clients in appeals, admissibility proceedings and judicial reviews.

Immigration files are decided on their facts, supporting evidence and applicable legal requirements. A strategy that is suitable for one applicant may not be appropriate for another. Therefore, our lawyers begin by reviewing the person’s history, objective, current status, deadlines and available documents.

Immigration programs and procedures can change. Applicants should confirm current requirements before submitting forms or relying on older advice. No lawyer can guarantee approval, but careful preparation can reduce avoidable errors and present the evidence clearly.

Appeals & Enforcement

Refusals, reviews, removal and detention matters.

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.

An immigration refusal lawyer can explain the available route, the evidence that may be used and the possible outcomes. No appeal or review result can be promised.

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.

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.

Border and Port of Entry Issues for Brampton and GTA Clients

For Brampton residents and visiting family members, an immigration concern may arise during travel through Toronto Pearson International Airport or another Canadian port of entry. A prior refusal, criminal history or question about a document can require careful review.

If you were questioned, detained or refused entry, keep the documents you received and note what happened. Our team can review the encounter, explain the issues and help you prepare for the appropriate next step.

What Does Canadian Immigration Counsel Do?

Immigration lawyers in Canada advise clients about legal options and represent them before immigration officers, tribunals and courts. A lawyer can identify the correct process, explain the required evidence and address concerns that may affect eligibility or admissibility.

For an application, counsel may review forms, supporting records, written explanations and the consistency of information across previous submissions. For a refused or contested matter, the lawyer may examine the decision, obtain the available record, identify legal or factual issues and explain whether an appeal, judicial review, request for reconsideration or new application may be available.

A person may contact an immigration appeal lawyer when a refusal, removal order or status decision carries a right of appeal. Other decisions may be challenged through an application for leave and judicial review in Federal Court. The correct route depends on the type of decision and the person’s circumstances

What Should You Do After an Immigration Refusal?

01

First, read the refusal letter and record the date it was received. Do not assume that submitting the same application again will solve the problem. The reasons and evidence should be reviewed before choosing a response.

02

Next, determine whether the decision carries a statutory appeal, may be challenged in Federal Court or is better addressed through reconsideration or a new application. Some options have strict filing deadlines.

03

Finally, preserve every version of the forms, supporting documents, correspondence and decision records. A complete file helps counsel compare what was submitted with the concerns raised by the decision-maker.

These examples come from the firm's Canadian practice. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. A successful judicial review does not itself grant a visa or permit; the application must be reconsidered by the responsible decision-maker.
