What document did you receive?
Keep the full refusal decision, procedural fairness letter, or other notice. Write down the date you received it. The document and its wording determine what question needs attention first.
What facts should be reviewed first?
Put the original application, records you filed, later correspondence and decision in date order. Compare the concern in the letter with what was already in the file. That makes a review more useful than guessing from a short summary of the refusal.
Why is the next route case-specific?
A new application, reconsideration, appeal or other review should not be assumed from the word “refused.” The decision, record and dates need to be checked before anyone can say what may be available. The Canada-wide refusal remedies guide explains the different questions without deciding your case.
How do you begin a refusal review?
Choose the refusal or procedural fairness category, describe the letter and date, and request a 15-minute introductory call with Mehdi. You can edit your answers before sending. The request does not pause a deadline, book a call or confirm representation.
