Right of Appeal For Refused Work Permit Application Or Reapply

[Jagroop]

My sister applied for a work permit from India but she was refused. Can she appeal the decision for the work permit or does she need to reapply?

[Rajpal (Admin)]

Under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), there is no formal right of appeal on temporary resident matters such as work permits. You can try to reapply with a fresh application and where possible, your application will be examined by a different officer.

Alternatively, you request for a judicial review through the Federal Court of Canada. In order to proceed with judicial review, please contact a lawyer for further information.
