Urgent Immigration Matters – Skylane Immigration

urgent immigration matter

An urgent immigration matter involves a short deadline, possible loss of status, enforcement action, or a decision affecting your right to remain in Canada. Receiving an urgent consultation does not mean IRCC, CBSA, or the IRB will expedite your case.

Letters and Decisions

URGENT IMMIGRATION MATTERS / 01

Review the concerns, gather your evidence, and confirm the response deadline.

Procedural Fairness Letter

IRCC raises concerns before making a decision. You must respond by the stated deadline with explanations and supporting evidence.

Additional Document Request

IRCC asks for missing or updated documents. An incomplete or late response might lead to refusal.

Refusal Letter

IRCC refuses your application and provides reasons. Depending on your case, options might include reapplying, requesting reconsideration, filing an appeal, or seeking judicial review.

Status and Enforcement

URGENT IMMIGRATION MATTERS / 02

Understand your status and prepare for the next required action.

Misrepresentation

IRCC or CBSA believes you provided incorrect information or withheld an important fact. A finding of misrepresentation might result in refusal, inadmissibility, and a five-year ban.

Loss of Status

Your visitor, student, or worker status has expired. Eligible applicants normally have 90 days after losing status to request restoration. Eligibility and exceptions require an individual review.

Removal Order

Canadian authorities order you to leave Canada. The type of order, appeal rights, and available remedies depend on your circumstances.

CBSA Interview

CBSA asks questions about your status, admissibility, compliance, or removal. Understand the purpose of the interview and prepare your records.

Detention and Refugee Protection

URGENT IMMIGRATION MATTERS / 03

Prepare for your hearing and address the deadlines in your notice.

Detention Review

The Immigration Division of the IRB reviews whether immigration detention should continue or whether release conditions are appropriate. These hearings follow strict timelines.

Refugee Hearing or Appeal

The Refugee Protection Division decides refugee claims. The Refugee Appeal Division reviews eligible negative decisions. Refugee appeals have short filing deadlines.

Pre-Removal Risk Assessment

Eligible persons facing removal receive an opportunity to explain the risks they face upon return to their country. Strict filing and evidence deadlines apply.
