Our Focus


We work with RCICs on files where litigation is being considered, including:
Refused applications where judicial review is the next step
Long-delayed files suitable for mandamus
Matters involving Federal Court timelines and procedures

Mandamus

If your Canadian immigration application has been "in process" for months or years with no meaningful progress, you may not need to simply wait. We use Mandamus to force IRCC to do their job.


Visa Refused?

Refusal

Judicial review asks a simple question: was the officer’s decision fair, lawful, and supported by the record? We carefully test your refusal against that standard.

FAQs

General & Litigation

What is Judicial Review?

Judicial Review is a process in which the Federal Court of Canada reviews a decision made by an immigration officer or tribunal to ensure it is fair, lawful, and reasonable. The Court does not re-evaluate your original evidence but determines if the decision-maker followed the law and provided a coherent justification.

 

What is a Writ of Mandamus?

Mandamus is a court order that compels IRCC to make a decision on an application that has been unreasonably delayed. It does not guarantee an approval, but it forces the government to finally act on your file.

Who oversees the legal proceedings at JR Canada?

All litigation is conducted under the direction of Ali Dadkhah, a Barrister & Solicitor with experience handling over 1,500 Federal Court files by the end of 2025. He is supported by a dedicated team of immigration consultants and legal professionals.

Can an RCIC represent a client in Federal Court?

No. Only lawyers are authorized to represent clients in the Federal Court. JR Canada serves as a specialized litigation partner for RCICs, allowing them to provide their clients with high-level legal recourse while maintaining their primary professional relationship.

What are the deadlines for filing a Judicial Review?

Deadlines are strict: 15 days for decisions made within Canada and 60 days for decisions made outside of Canada. If you have missed these deadlines, you must request an extension of time, which is not guaranteed.

Process & Success

Does filing for Mandamus or Judicial Review negatively affect my application?

No. Canada operates under the rule of law, and these are legitimate legal remedies. IRCC does not "punish" applicants for seeking court intervention to ensure their cases are handled fairly.

How often will I receive updates on my case?

 Our system is designed to be hassle-free. You will receive automated email notifications the moment there is an update on your case in court. You can also track your files 24/7 through our secure individual portal.

What is your success rate or experience level?

While no firm can guarantee a specific outcome, we have a proven track record of handling high volumes of complex cases, including 716 Study Permit cases and over 1,500 total Federal Court filings up to the end of 2025, with an approximate success rate of 75%

Do you specialize in business-related work permits?

Yes. We have a significant focus on specialized work permits, having managed 173 cases in the IMP-C11, ICT, and SUV categories alone.

What is a "Settlement" and how does it happen?

A settlement occurs when the Department of Justice (representing IRCC) reviews our legal arguments and agrees to reopen your application without needing a full court hearing. This is a highly favourable outcome, as it often results in the original refusal being set aside and the file being sent back for a fresh decision by a different officer, significantly saving time and legal costs.

Partnership & Support

How do I submit a new file for review?

Simply log in to your portal and upload the relevant refusal or delay documents. The file will be reviewed under Ali Dadkhah's direction to determine the best legal path forward.

Can I call or email your team directly?

Absolutely. We pride ourselves on being accessible. You are always just one phone call or email away from our team for any detailed updates or questions.

Does JR Canada take over my client relationship?

No. For professional representatives, we act as your litigation support. RCICs retain full control of their client relationships throughout the process.

What happens if my case is settled out of court?

 Many cases are resolved through "settlement" before reaching a hearing. In these instances, the Department of Justice may agree to have your application reconsidered by a different officer, which often leads to a faster resolution than a full hearing.

Is my data secure in the portal?

Yes. We use a secure, individual login portal with dedicated credentials to ensure that all client documents and case updates remain confidential and protected.
