IRCC Refusal Rates Are at an All-Time High. Don’t Risk Your Future.

The Reality of 2025: Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is rejecting applications at record rates. With the use of “Chinook” AI tools, officers are issuing bulk refusals for Study Permits, Visitor Visas, and Work Permits—often with vague, generic reasons.

At Cambria Law, we specialize in complex cases. We don’t just help you apply; we build a legal fortress around your application to withstand scrutiny. Whether you have received a Procedural Fairness Letter, a Refusal, or are navigating the new 2026 Express Entry Priorities, you need a strategist, not just a consultant.

1. The “Rescue” Service: Appeals & Overturning Refusals

Did you receive a generic refusal letter stating “I am not satisfied you will leave Canada”? That is not the final word. Our Senior Counsel challenges unreasonable decisions every day.

  • Judicial Review (Federal Court): When an officer makes an error in law or ignores your evidence, we take IRCC to Federal Court to force a re-determination.

  • Reconsideration Requests: A faster, cost-effective way to fix minor errors or provide missing evidence immediately after a refusal.

  • Spousal Sponsorship Appeals (IAD): If your genuine marriage was refused, we represent you at the Immigration Appeal Division to prove your relationship is real.

2. Strategic Permanent Residence (Express Entry & PNP)

Stop “Hoping” for a Draw. Start Targeting One. The days of “General Draws” are fading. In 2026, Canada is prioritizing Category-Based Selection (Healthcare, STEM, Trades). If you don’t fit a category, your CRS score might not matter.

  • Category-Based Strategy: We audit your work history to find the right NOC code that qualifies for targeted draws.

  • French Proficiency: We help you map out the “French Backdoor” to lower your required CRS score.

  • PNP Optimization: We identify Provincial Nominee Programs that act as a safety net if Express Entry fails.

3. Spousal & Family Sponsorship

Reuniting Families is Our Core Mission. A spousal refusal is devastating. We ensure your application is “refusal-proof” from Day 1 by organizing your relationship evidence to meet the strict “Genuineness Test.”
