Immigration Appeals

The Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) hears appeals on immigration-related matters, including sponsorships, removal orders and residency obligations. Persons in Canada who have a right to appeal before the IAD are:

• Canadian Citizens and Permanent Residents who applied to sponsor their family members
• Permanent Residents who breached their residency obligations
• Permanent Residents who are under a removal order
• Protected persons who are under a removal order
• Foreign nationals with a Permanent Resident Visa

Individuals who do not have the right to appeal before the IAD can submit an application for leave of judicial review before the Federal Court.
