Frequently Asked Questions
-
01 How long do I have to file an appeal with the IAD?
In most cases, you have 30 days from the date you receive the written refusal letter or removal order to file your Notice of Appeal with the IAD. Because timelines are strict and missing the deadline can jeopardize your appeal rights, you should contact legal counsel immediately. -
02 What happens if my IAD appeal is rejected?
If the IAD dismisses your appeal, the decision can potentially be challenged through an Application for Leave and Judicial Review at the Federal Court of Canada. Judicial review focuses on whether the IAD member made a legal error or acted unfairly. -
03 Can I submit new evidence during an IAD appeal?
Yes. Unlike Federal Court Judicial Reviews, the IAD allows you to introduce new evidence that was not available at the time of the original application, including updated relationship proof, financial stability records, and Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) evidence. -
04 What is the difference between ADR and a full IAD hearing?
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is an informal, non-adversarial meeting aimed at reaching a quick agreement between you and Minister's Counsel. A full IAD hearing is a formal proceeding before a Board Member where witnesses give testimony, evidence is scrutinized, and formal legal arguments are made. -
05 Common Refusal Reasons
Electronic travel visa refusals often result from incomplete forms, passport mismatches, or unclear travel history. Godwit Law Office is here to help. Our lawyers identify errors, collect supporting documents, and craft explanations that address officials’ concerns. -
06 Reapplications After Refusal
There is no set waiting period for reapplying after an eTA refusal. However, it should only be done after all issues are resolved and documents are complete. Once corrected, the new application is more likely to proceed smoothly. As your legal partner, we ensure the grounds for refusal are addressed to reduce future risk. -
07 Admissibility Concerns
Criminal records or serious medical conditions may block travel authorizations, often raising questions during the review process. Godwit Law addresses these concerns by providing supporting documents, such as medical records or police certificates, to help strengthen the application.
