Our lawyer Karina Juma has done excellent work on a C-12 PRRA for a Nigerian applicant. The client just informed us that a positive PRRA decision was granted today, allowing them to stay in Canada and apply for PR!
Due to PGWP refusal, the Applicant faced an immediate loss of status. With our assistance, the Applicant successfully pursued a restoration application with a new study permit application after they were accepted to a PGWP-eligible program within the 90-day restoration period. The restoration application was accepted within six months of the PGWP refusal.
A self-represented applicant received a boilerplate visitor visa refusal citing failure to establish departure intent. Heron Law Offices challenged the decision through Federal Court judicial review, arguing the Officer’s reasons lacked the transparency and justification required under Vavilov. Within months of filing, the application was re-opened and a multiple-entry TRV was granted.
In this case, we successfully challenged a Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship refusal due to previous incompetent representation, and shared practical insights on the Federal Court’s three-part test and the importance of authorized representation.
In PRRAs, unlike refugee claims, there is no hearing by default. Without an opportunity to present their case in person before the decision maker, the claimant is reduced to a name on paper, which increases the lawyer’s responsibility to effectively convey the applicant’s story and credibility through persuasive writing supported by evidence.
