When Fateh Law Corporation takes on an immigration case, we are driven not just to win a settlement in Federal Court but to go the extra mile, ensuring our clients achieve the final outcome they need: an approval and a passport request. For many, this is a crucial difference, as securing a settlement from the Department of Justice is often just the halfway mark in the long journey of immigration litigation.
In the complex and often challenging landscape of Canadian immigration law, a Federal Court settlement means the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has agreed to reconsider an application, but it does not guarantee approval. As this recent case illustrates, our job doesn’t end until the client’s case reaches its full resolution—an approved visa and passport request in hand.
Case Overview: A Diwali Gift Like No Other
Our client’s journey started with disappointment—a visitor visa refusal on June 17, 2024. Determined to challenge the decision, they turned to Fateh Law Corporation. Our team fought the initial refusal, taking the matter to the Federal Court, where we submitted written arguments in August. By August 20, 2024, we had achieved a settlement: the Department of Justice agreed that the application would be reconsidered.
However, this was only the first step. We knew from experience that without dedicated follow-through, there was still a risk of further delays or refusals. Our client’s needs—and the stakes—were too high for us to leave anything to chance.
The Path to Redetermination: Persistence and Preparedness
The settlement on August 20, 2024, initiated a process called redetermination, which meant the IRCC would reevaluate the application. But even with a settlement, we knew we needed to advocate vigilantly to ensure this second review would lead to a successful outcome. On October 17, 2024, the IRCC requested additional documents to move forward
Rather than merely providing the requested documents, we saw this as an opportunity to strengthen our client’s case. We presented additional evidence and legal submissions to clarify the strength and legitimacy of the application. We were firm with IRCC: any further unjustified refusal would lead us to pursue further litigation, this time with potential costs awarded against them. This assertive approach underscored our commitment and showed IRCC that we were ready to fight if needed.
The Final Victory: A Passport Request Just in Time for Diwali
On October 29, 2024, we received the news we’d been working toward: a passport request for our client. This request, often the last step in the immigration process, was the culmination of months of effort, advocacy, and meticulous legal work.
For our client, this wasn’t just an immigration win—it was a deeply meaningful achievement, marking a new chapter just in time for Diwali, after facing three prior refusals.
What This Means for Our Clients
At Fateh Law Corporation, our 11 years of experience in immigration litigation have taught us that every client’s case is unique, and each outcome matters deeply to the individual and their family. That’s why we see securing a Federal Court settlement as only the start. For us, success is defined by walking alongside our clients every step of the way until they receive that final, essential approval.
Why Comprehensive Legal Representation Matters
For many immigration firms, achieving a Federal Court settlement may seem like a significant victory—and it is. But at Fateh Law Corporation, we believe that true full-service representation goes beyond the courtroom.
Immigration matters are often complex, and delays or refusals can significantly impact a client’s personal or professional life. That’s why we don’t just stop when we win a case in court. We persist through the redetermination process and do everything within our power to secure a favorable decision. Our approach reflects our unwavering dedication to our clients’ success.
