We Will Represent You in Any Immigration Court in Canada!

A refused visa or an unexpected immigration setback does not have to mark the end of your Canadian journey. At Jane Katkova & Associates, we guide you through every stage of the immigration appeals and litigation process, from visa refusals and appeal hearings to judicial reviews and writs of mandamus. With precise legal analysis, persuasive advocacy, and decades of experience, we help clients challenge unfair decisions and restore their path to Canada with clarity and confidence.

At Jane Katkova & Associates we provide full representation before every Canadian immigration tribunal and court. This includes sponsorship and residency obligation appeals at the Immigration Appeal Division, admissibility and removal order hearings at the Immigration Division, and judicial reviews of visa, work permit, and study permit refusals in Federal Court. No matter the forum, our lawyers prepare your case meticulously, present it with authority, and stand with you until a final decision is reached.

Restore Your Path to Canada with Confidence

Visa Refusal Consideration & Strategy

A refusal does not always mean the end of your Canadian immigration journey. Our team carefully reviews your refusal letter, identifies the officer’s reasoning, and determines whether you qualify for an appeal, reconsideration, or judicial review. We assess the legal and procedural grounds available and recommend the strongest strategy for moving forward. With clear guidance, you gain a roadmap to address the refusal effectively rather than starting over blindly.

Writ of Mandamus

When IRCC delays processing unreasonably, a writ of mandamus may be the solution. This Federal Court remedy compels the government to make a decision when an application has been stalled beyond acceptable timelines. We prepare and file mandamus applications backed by evidence of delay, ensuring the court understands the urgency and fairness of your case. This strategy helps break prolonged silence from immigration authorities and restores momentum to your process.

Judicial Review in Federal Court

When temporary visas, work permits, or study permits are refused, the right option may be judicial review in Federal Court. This process challenges the fairness and reasonableness of a decision rather than re-arguing the case from scratch. We prepare precise legal arguments, manage strict filing deadlines, and ensure that the court has a clear record of any errors in law or procedure. With our guidance, you gain the opportunity for an impartial review that can reopen your path to Canada.

Preparing Supporting Evidence & GCMS Review

Strong evidence is the foundation of every successful appeal. We work with you to collect new and persuasive documentation — including financial records, affidavits, professional or community letters, and explanations that directly address refusal reasons. We also obtain and review your GCMS notes, which reveal the visa officer’s internal rationale. These insights allow us to build a more targeted, fortified case that anticipates objections and strengthens your legal position.

Legal Representation & Hearing Preparation

Whether appearing at an IAD hearing or presenting evidence for a judicial decision, preparation is everything. We guide you through each step — from organizing documents and disclosure packages to preparing witnesses and refining testimony. Our representation ensures you are confident, informed, and ready to face questioning. In the hearing room, we advocate forcefully on your behalf, presenting the case with clarity and precision.

Immigration Appeals Division (IAD) Representation

If you have received a refusal for a family sponsorship, a removal order, or a residency obligation, we prepare and file your Notice of Appeal within the required deadlines. Our team builds a compelling case supported by evidence, legal submissions, and witness preparation. We represent you directly at IAD hearings or Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) conferences, ensuring your position is fully and persuasively presented. With experienced advocacy, your chances of overturning the decision are significantly improved.
