IRCC reconsideration request

The fee is $450 plus 13% HST ($508.50 in all) for the work described on this page. Court, tribunal or government fees and other disbursements are extra. We confirm the scope and the fee in a written retainer agreement before any work starts.

You book a time for your intake call, then save a card on Stripe's secure page. Nothing is charged today: the card is only charged later, for an invoice for work already done, as your retainer agreement sets out. A licensed paralegal confirms the details, checks for conflicts of interest and, if we can act for you, sends the retainer agreement. Fees paid before the work is done are held in our trust account.

Reapplying without dealing with the reasons for refusal often leads to the same result. It usually helps to understand the concerns first.

Giving false or incomplete information, or leaving out an important fact, may lead to a refusal and a five-year bar, in some cases even when it was not intended. A careful response with evidence matters.
