We overturned a study permit refusal at the Federal Court. The officer rejected the application with a generic refusal, citing travel history, family ties, and purpose of visit. The Court found the decision unreasonable, granted judicial review, and ordered redetermination by a new officer. Aghaalikhani has since been cited in many other cases, shaping the law on study permit refusals.

I had a very good experience with Pax Law. I needed my PR card renewal sorted quickly because of an upcoming business trip, so I did some research and also asked ChatGPT for the best and fastest option in Vancouver. Pax Law came up as the first recommendation, so I gave them a call. They were friendly, very organised and paid attention to every detail. They understood the urgency and had everything prepared for me within two days, with really good communication and follow up throughout. Very happy with the service and would definitely recommend them.Posted on Google![]()

I recently had several questions regarding my mandatory military service in my home country, so I booked a consultation with **Pax Law Corporation**. The process was very smooth—I scheduled a 30-minute virtual consultation, paid the consultation fee, uploaded my identification documents, and met with Dr. Samin Mortazavi the following day. During the meeting, I explained my situation in detail. Dr. Mortazavi listened very carefully, answered all of my questions clearly and honestly, and explained both the legal aspects of my situation and the steps I should and should not take. I never felt rushed, and the entire consultation was professional, respectful, and informative. Even though I live in Alberta, the firm accommodated my schedule and arranged the meeting at a convenient time, which I greatly appreciated. Overall, it was a very productive conversation, and I am extremely happy with Dr. Mortazavi's professionalism, knowledge, and attitude. If I ever need immigration legal services in the future, he and his firm will be my first choice. I would also highly recommend Pax Law Corporation to anyone looking for reliable and professional immigration legal advice.Posted on Google![]()
