Visitor Visa Approved Despite Previous TRV Refusal

Our office was recently retained to assist our client with the refusal of his application for a temporary resident visa (TRV).  Upon review of the refusal letter, we suggested that our client challenge the decision to the Federal Court of Canada, as it appeared procedurally unfair and unreasonable. Once we received the Rule 9 (reasons for the decision), we crafted our legal arguments, including making submissions on undisclosed use of assistive technology and filed all materials with the Court.

Shortly thereafter, we received a letter from the Department of Justice on behalf of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) offering a settlement to our client. Upon accepting the settlement offer, we were thrilled that IRCC sent the client a passport request letter and the client received their visitor visa within two weeks. We wish our client all the best!
