Immigration & Refugee protection
Overview
Canadian immigration and refugee protection matters frequently turn on strict statutory requirements, credibility and risk evidence, and the fairness of the decision-making process. The practice accepts select mandates, with particular focus on complex, high stakes, and contested matters, including proceedings before the Immigration and Refugee Board and judicial review before the Federal Court. Amiri Law Firm P.C. acts for individuals and families, and accepts select business mandates, with a practice that is litigation capable and documentation intensive. Each file is approached through early risk assessment, disciplined record building, and strategic planning aligned with the client’s objectives and timelines.
The practice includes representation before the Immigration and Refugee Board, as well as advocacy in contested matters and judicial review proceedings before the Federal Court. Where appropriate, the firm also advises on humanitarian and compassionate relief and other pathways that engage rights based considerations and Canada’s international protection obligations.
