What happens when a person appeals a sponsorship refusal?

0

The sponsor has 30 days after the refusal to make an appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD). The appeal will be heard by a member (decision-maker) following the tribunal process. Some sponsorship appeals go through an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process. A dispute resolution officer (usually a member of the IAD) encourages the parties to resolve the appeal without a full hearing. If the appeal is allowed, CIC will resume processing the sponsorship application or it may challenge the decision of the IAD by applying to the Federal Court of Canada for leave for judicial review. It is possible for CIC to refuse the application on other grounds. If the appeal is dismissed, the sponsor may apply to the Federal Court of Canada for leave for judicial review. The Federal Court will either dismiss the application by CIC or the sponsor or return the case to the IAD for re-hearing.
