What happens if I lose the appeal?

Within 15 calendar days of receiving a refusal from the IAD, the Appellant may file an Application for Leave and for Judicial Review to the Federal Court of Canada to ask the Court for permission to review the decision of the IAD. The application must be made on the basis that there is an error of law in the IAD decision. We strongly recommend consulting with a lawyer for an opinion on the chances of success if challenging an IAD decision.
