Resolving delays in immigration applications

What is Mandamus?
Mandamus is a legal remedy that compels Canadian immigration authorities to make a decision on a delayed application. If your immigration application has been delayed beyond a reasonable period or if the authorities have failed to act, a Mandamus application may be the solution. This legal action forces the government to proceed with your case, ensuring your immigration application is processed in a timely manner.
-
A Mandamus application requires you to file a formal motion in Federal Court, requesting the court to order the immigration authorities to make a decision on your application. If successful, the court can compel IRCC to process your case, providing you with the legal grounds to expedite your immigration process.
-
Unreasonable Delays: Your application has been stuck in the processing stage for an extended period without any updates.
Failure to Make a Decision: Immigration authorities have failed to provide any decision or feedback on your application.
No Communication from IRCC: You’ve received no communication from the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) regarding the status of your case.
-
Consult with an Immigration Lawyer: Mandamus applications are complex and require specialized legal knowledge. Our immigration lawyers at Van Law Group will assess your case and determine if Mandamus is the right course of action.
Prepare and File the Application: We will file a motion in Federal Court, presenting your case and requesting the court to intervene in the delayed process.
Court Decision: The court will review your case and issue a ruling, which may compel the immigration authorities to process your application without further delay.
Follow-Up: Once the court orders action, we’ll continue to monitor your application to ensure timely processing and resolve any further issues.
