Citizenship and Immigration
SEPTEMBER 19, 2023
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.

Mr. Haghjou handled my case with the support of Mr. Erfan Behzadi. They were truly even more proactive than I was in following up on my case and handled every step with great care and attention to detail. I sincerely thank them both for their dedication and support.Posted on Google![]()

I cannot thank Dr. Samin Mortazavi and the incredible team at Pax Law Corporation enough for their exceptional work. After facing long delays with my citizenship application, I reached out to Dr. Samin for a Mandamus application before the Federal Court. From day one, his expertise and legal mastery were evident. The Memorandum of Argument he prepared was a masterpiece—thorough, impeccably structured, and completely airtight. Within just five and a half months, my citizenship was approved, and I have already got my Canadian citizenship. A special thanks to Mr. Pouria Soltani, the case manager, who was amazingly supportive and very helpful during whole the process. He took the time to explain every detail and guided me through the entire process with great patience. Also, special appreciation to Ms. Anousheh at the front desk for always being so welcoming, polite, and responsive over the phone. If you are looking for a highly skilled, dedicated, and top-tier legal team that delivers results, Dr. Samin and Pax Law Corporation are hands down the best. Highly recommended!Posted on Google![]()

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![]()
