What the review considers
The refusal reasons, the record, and the path forward.
Study permit refusals often involve overlapping concerns. The assessment gathers the facts needed to identify which issues deserve closer legal review.
Begin the assessment →Purpose of visit
Study plan, program choice, and career rationale.
Financial evidence
Tuition, source of funds, sponsorship, assets, and recent deposits.
Home-country ties
Family, employment, property, business interests, and reasons to leave Canada.
Immigration history
Travel, prior refusals, status, compliance, and credibility concerns.
Procedural fairness
Concerns about documents, accuracy, or misrepresentation.
Timing and urgency
School dates and possible reconsideration or court deadlines.
Possible pathways
Different refusals call for different responses.
The appropriate option depends on the reasons, evidence, timing, and applicant’s objectives.
Reapply
Address the officer’s concerns with clearer evidence, explanations, or a revised study plan.
Request reconsideration
Ask IRCC to revisit a decision where a material error or overlooked evidence may be present.
Judicial review
Seek Federal Court review where the decision may be unreasonable or procedurally unfair.
No outcome is guaranteed. A preliminary assessment is not a complete legal opinion and does not mean representation has been accepted.
Time-sensitive matter?
Do not wait for a deadline to pass.
Complete the assessment and clearly identify the urgent date. For direct advice, a paid consultation can be booked separately.
Frequently asked questions
Before you submit
Is the assessment really free?
Yes. The initial review is free and preliminary. Any paid consultation or legal service would be discussed separately.
What documents should I upload?
Start with the refusal letter. If available, include the study plan, financial evidence, application forms, supporting documents, and procedural fairness correspondence.
Does submitting the form make the firm my lawyer?
No. Submission does not create a lawyer-client relationship and does not mean the firm has agreed to act for you.
How quickly will I receive a response?
A Canadian immigration lawyer aims to contact you within 24 to 48 hours. Identify urgent matters clearly in the assessment.
