Our situation wasn’t the best one to begin with. My husband had been treated unfairly, and we had an urgent situation. The previous lawyer wasn’t enough, and we needed someone who’d treat us better. My husband’s rights mattered. Unfortunately, the previous lawyer just wasn’t like that. In a wild chase, we came across Daniel Kingwell. Just as we thought all hope was lost, we had found our miracle. We set up a meeting and met each other. They learned our case and saved us. Countless meetings later, we managed to find a great price and win the first of many cases. Daniel Kingwell and his fellow colleagues have been a huge part in our lives, and we cannot thank them enough. I truly recommend them. Appreciation and Thanks, Selma and family.
Our team of experienced lawyers can support clients with applications, motions, other litigation, and representation in all urgent matters. If you are facing an urgent Canadian immigration matter, please contact Kingwell Immigration Law to speak with a lawyer about your case as soon as possible.
If you have been detained by immigration officials at a port of entry or while living in Canada, certain rights apply. This includes a review of the detention within 48 hours by the Immigration Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, to determine if you will need to remain in detention or if you can be released.
Interviews with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) interview are different. They may be conducted at a Port of Entry or may be requested once you have entered Canada. They may be requested in the course of an immigration application. These interviews are an important step when you are immigrating to or visiting Canada. You may have a right to have a lawyer present at the interview. In every case, it is highly recommended that you speak with a lawyer prior to these interviews to learn more about what you can expect, to ensure you are prepared, and to understand the steps that can be taken afterwards.
Immigration litigation is a highly complex area of law. Litigation may be required where your application has been refused, has remained stagnant for a long time, or when you feel your case has no other avenues to pursue. At Kingwell Immigration Law, we draw on our founder’s 20 years of experience in handling highly complex litigation matters, and routinely represent clients in both Federal Court and all four Divisions of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada. Whatever your immigration matter, and no matter how difficult it seems, we will support you and your loved ones in finding a solution that achieves your goals and supports your future.
Being issued a deportation date can be terrifying, and you often have a short time to respond to this. At Kingwell Immigration Law, we support our clients by requesting CBSA grant a deferral of removal, or by filing a motion for a “stay” of removal which asks the Federal Court to pause removal while an ongoing court application is being litigated. Regardless of the time frame, this is a serious matter and it is essential that you contact a lawyer as soon as possible.
In some cases, a removal order can expose an individual to a risk to their life or safety. If you or someone you love has been issued a removal order and you are in danger in your country of removal, you may have grounds to receive a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA). It is essential you work with a lawyer during the PRRA process and for any hearing that may be scheduled to ensure the best chance of your application being accepted.
In the course of your immigration application, immigration officials may send you a procedural fairness letter (PFL) raising concerns and giving you a short time to respond. It is crucial that you speak to an experienced lawyer before responding, to understand the officer’s concerns and what information and evidence you need to present.
If your immigration application was refused, you have options. If you believe an error was made that led to the refusal of your application, for example, if crucial evidence was overlooked or a technical error was made, you may have grounds to request reconsideration of your application. Working with a lawyer to file a detailed reconsideration request can contribute to the application being approved.
If you would face persecution or other danger in your country of citizenship or former residence, you may be eligible to claim refugee status in Canada. To make a refugee claim, the eligibility requirements include being in Canada and not being subject to a removal order.
The process of claiming refugee protection is more complicated than just filling out a form. It can include an interview, hearings, evidence, and other steps or materials. A lawyer can help you navigate this process and work with you to present a strong claim.
