Can you answer my immigration question?

We can answer an immigration question if we have sufficient facts. Obtaining those facts requires an understanding of your history. This history may include: employment, education, travel, previous interactions with government officials, family background, and other facts. The amount and variety of this information typically requires a consultation. On the other hand, some questions have short answers and may be answered by referring to the website: www.cic.gc.ca . We would refer you to that website for questions that have short general answers.

Why do I have to pay for a consultation?

You are unique. We want to know about your unique situation. Due to the amount of information required to know your situation and the time spent, it would be required to pay for a consultation.

How much is a consultation?

A 30 minute consultation has a fee of CAD$150 (plus hst if applicable), and a 60 minute consultation fee is CAD$400.00 (plus hst if applicable). This includes answering through email, one-two questions related to the consultation within seven days of the consultation. The consultation fee may be credited towards a related legal service fee if you hire us within 21 days of the consultation.

My Immigration case got refused, how long do I have to contest my case?

If the immigration officer that refused your case is located in Canada, then you may only have 15 days to seek relief at the federal court. If the immigration officer who refused your application is located outside of Canada, then you would have 60 days to seek an application at the Federal Court and 30 days for Appeals, as the case may be.

What is the financial requirement to visit Canada?

You are unique; the amount of time you intend to spend in Canada, as well as the purpose of your visit to Canada would determine the amount of money you need to present when applying to visit Canada. Similarly, if you have a host or relative who is inviting you to Canada, then the amount of money and or income they need to show depends on how long you intend to be in Canada, the income of your host, and your purpose in Canada, among other things.

Am I eligible to sponsor?

Sponsors have financial requirements that are nominal in the case of sponsoring a spouse, to specific, in the case of sponsoring a parent. There may also be issues if the potential sponsor has had interactions with Canada’s justice system or Border Officials.

Mandamus Appeals Canada

We’re doing the right thing.

The Meaning And Purpose Of Mandamus Canada

Mandamus means ‘we command’ in Latin. Its purpose is to compel a person of authority or a lower court to perform their ministerial duties correctly without any unexplained delays. A Mandamus is an order from the superior court presented to any subordinate court, corporation, public authority, or even the government to urge and take actions that are rightfully a part of their duty or refrain from doing so, whatever the matter at hand calls for. However, a mandamus cannot be issued to force an authority to act against statutory provisions. An individual filing for a mandamus application or a writ of mandamus should be able to demonstrate the legal rights that entitle them to compel the receiving party to perform or refrain from performing a certain duty.

What Is a Writ Of Mandamus?

A writ of mandamus is simply a way of persuading the court in power to urge the government to perform and deliver duties that they are entitled to in the interest of the public.

Also known as mandamus application, a writ of mandamus Canada can be used to ask The Federal Court of Canada to order the IRCC to make a decision for an immigration application that has been kept pending for too long without any logical explanation. This example is perfect for understanding the working of a mandamus application. Usually, delays do take place according to the specifications of a case. One can seek mandamus appeals in Canada if the waiting period exceeds the average time frame mentioned on the IRCC website.

Immigration delays are the most common and important reason for filing a mandamus application in Canada. Immigration applications can be delayed even because of the tiniest of mistakes. Therefore, one must assure that all requirements are met when applying for immigration.

Any missing document or false information can not just delay your immigration status but also make things go south. It’s better to be precise and avoid any delays and confusion. For example, delays can be caused in case of a missing document, a document that does not seem valid, has any signatures missing/not matching with other documents, or if the application fee is not paid. A writ of mandamus can be used to speed things up for your immigration process despite these common delays.

There might be times when delays occur due to staff mismanagement, a file backlog at the IRCC, or a limited staff. Which may make you wonder whether there is something wrong with your application or seek the right explanation for this delay. Applying for a writ of mandamus would help you get a clear idea of your status and urge the IRCC to take the necessary action!

How To Go About Your Mandamus Application?

There are certain requirements for an individual to be eligible in order to apply for a writ of mandamus. Firstly, the duty one is looking for must be:

For a court to accept your plea for filing a mandamus application, conditions as such should be met:

The duty must be a public legal duty
The applicant must be owed that duty legally
The right to performance of that duty
The applicant has met all requirements of availing the said duty
There was:
A prior need for the fulfilment of duty and a time frame to comply with the demand unless it was refused.
An unreasonable delay which implied or expressed with no specific explanation.
There is no other procedure left for the applicant to find answers with
The order will about some change in the matter
During the exercise of discretion, the court found no equitable relief sought.
Once proved convenient, a writ of mandamus can be issued.

What Our Clients Say

SUMMARY: I unequivocally would recommend Chaudhary Law Office. Mr. Loughlin and Mr. Chaudhary are both fantastic attorneys/lawyers. If there is any sort of complexity, I would further strongly recommend them. NOTE: Chaudhary Law is the 2nd immigration specialized law firm I have used, so I write this review with some comparative perspective (which I think is useful, as there are multiple options). We also have retained Chaudary Law Office for 2 distinct applications. GENERAL REVIEW: Right out of the gate, they have an amazing website when you can book an initial paid consolation. (which is a good sign, our first firm offered free consultation). After meeting Mr. Chaudhary in-person, I could easily say, that he was extremely detail oriented and highly articulate. It really didn't take long, minutes at most, for me to make up my mind in my head. After we initiated the application process, we worked closely with Mr. Loughlin. And like Mr. Chaudhary, he was exceptionally detail oriented, highly proactive, and very articulate. However, competency does not always translate to care, empathy and proactiveness for all lawyers and law firms. However, with Mr. Loughlin (and initially Mr. Chaudhary), a deep sense of care and empathy permeated throughout the process. I really do say from the bottom of my heart, that they are not just amazing at what they do, but they are genuinely good people. LEGAL/TECHNICAL REVIEW: What I found extremely refreshing about Mr. Loughlin was that for more open-ended documentation requirements, he left no stone unturned. (Which is something our last firm did not do). Furthermore, he was appropriately prescriptive, however, he also tried to make us understand the purpose of requirements so we could bolster the application further with other supporting documents. It is evident that they have accumulated a lot of deep legal understanding though taking on complex and challenging cases and even appeals/litigation (although we didn't require any appeal/litigation). Having a solid law firm stand by your side is a small price to pay in order to ensure your application is as correct and complete as it can be. The IRCC website/requirements can be intentionally vague/open-ended, and vary on a case-by-case basis. FINAL NOTE: I would want to sign off with an anecdote that Mr. Loughlin chose to call us first instead of email us to share a major positive update for our case. The final decisions in immigration applications are solely in the government's hands. The most you can do is try your best, retaining Chaudhary Law Office certainly re-assured us we are trying our best.

Me and my family owe a huge debt of gratitude to Loughlin from Chaudhary Law (CLO) for helping us out with my mother's complicated application and securing a favourable outcome. We made the choice to go with this firm after speaking with many others. From the very first interaction with CLO, each communication we had with Loughlin, Max and the team was handled extremely professionally. Their grip over immigration law and the customized legal advice they offered made their firm stand out. Throughout our experience with Loughlin, our application was handled with the utmost care, diligence and due regard for our unique circumstances. Loughlin accomodated all our questions with empathy, patience and understanding, walked us through his thought process in detail when we were unsure of next steps, and used his years of experience to draft a well put together application package. It is evident that Loughlin and Chaudhary Law care about their clients not just as customers but also as human beings. Loughlin and CLO have my highest recommendation as they have proven to be thorough professionals and genuinely compassionate individuals with a desire to help others which is a rare find. My best wishes for them. May they be blessed with abundance in health, wealth, prosperity and success in all their endeavours.
