First and second steps of judicial review at the Federal Court: The first step involved in the Application for Leave and Judicial Review is “Leave” stage. You acknowledge that there is no automatic right to have the matter heard at the Federal Court and that the first step is to seek leave or permission from a judge or associate judge. The first step involves the review of arguments presented by us on behalf of the Client and the lawyer representing Immigration, Refugee, and Citizenship Canada, the Department of Justice. We charge a flat fee of $3,000 for the Application for Leave and Judicial Review for a study permit and tourist visa and $5,000 for a permanent residency application.

After winning the court application and the judicial review, either by way of a settlement or a favourable court order, your file will go back to Citizenship Immigration Canada. In this case, we will discontinue the application, and Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada will assign the application to another officer for redetermination.

Pax Law can assist with the Updates for a separate fee, which requires the signing of a separate retainer agreement and payment of a separate fee. Settlement Offer: If the Department of Justice offers a settlement on the usual terms, the Client authorizes us to accept the Offer on their behalf. The settlement may involve discontinuing the action without costs to either party, setting aside the refusal decision, and sending the application back to a different visa officer for redetermination. Passport Request by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada: If Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada requests the Client's passport to issue a visa at any point, we will not issue a refund. Fee for Clients with a Different Lawyer for First Step: If the Client's Application for Leave was handled by another lawyer and they request Pax Law to prepare and attend their hearing as counsel, the fee for this service will be $4000.

Mandamus is an order issued by the Federal Court, compelling Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada to render a decision on a case within a specified timeframe. It is important to note that the outcome of the decision may or may not be in the client's favor. The Federal Court does not determine the eligibility for a visa but reviews the reasonableness of the delay in response from IRCC. If deemed unreasonable, the court may order IRCC to make a decision within a set timeframe. MANDAMUS APPLICATION TIMING: Prior to initiating the Mandamus application, it is strongly recommended that a significant duration has transpired from the estimated processing time indicated by the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on their official website. Specifically, it is advised that at least twice the posted processing time has elapsed before proceeding with the Mandamus application. FLAT FEE COVERAGE: The flat fee specified in the retainer agreement covers the filing of the Mandamus at the Federal Court, encompassing all necessary stages, including potential Leave applications.

INADMISSIBILITY DETENTION REVIEW: When individuals enter a country and are found to be inadmissible for various reasons, such as lacking the required travel documents or visas, having a criminal record, or posing a security risk, they may be subject to detention by immigration authorities. Detention is often used as a means to ensure that individuals who are inadmissible can be processed for removal or deportation from the country.

REFUGEE APPLICATION TERMS: Under this retainer agreement, we agree to assist you with making a refugee application. It is a condition precedent of this retainer agreement that submit it from within the sovereign territory of Canada. Your refugee application includes the submission of a complete refugee application, any follow-ups necessary, and representing you during the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada hearing should there be any. If you are asking us to represent you and your family for a refugee application, you must have a legitimate fear for your life should you return to your country of residence. You acknowledge that refugee applications are not an immigration pathway and are reserved only for those individuals with a legitimate refugee claim. We cannot and will not help you come up with an acceptable story for a refugee application. This service includes what is required to make a refugee claim. It includes the Immigration and Refugee Board hearing. Please note that receiving a positive response for your refugee application does not equal getting permanent resident status in Canada. To obtain permanent residence status in Canada, you must make a separate application. Pax Law Corporation is able to assist you with that process on a different retainer agreement with separate legal fees. Once you make a refugee application, if you had a study permit or work permit, you are allowed to continue taking advantage of them if you comply with all the requirements. But, if you, for instance, stop going to university, your study permit will be canceled, and you will have to wait until either you receive a new study permit or you receive your permanent residency. *

IMP: C11/C12/ICT: You have asked us and we have agreed to act for you under one of the above-named categories of work permits. Included in the $40,000 is a $10,000 fee for incorporation, drafting a business plan, plus corporate lawyer fee for leasing a commercial space for an office, if needs be. The remaining $30,000 is the legal fee for making a complete application. The International Mobility Program (IMP) is a method of immigration to Canada that facilitates the entry of foreign workers and international students into the country. Unlike traditional economic immigration programs, the IMP is primarily focused on temporary work permits and study permits, allowing foreign individuals to come to Canada for short-term employment or academic pursuits. Under the IMP, employers in Canada can hire foreign workers for positions where they face labor shortages or specialized skill requirements. Likewise, international students can study in Canadian institutions, contributing to Canada's educational and cultural diversity. The program encompasses various categories and streams, including open work permits, employer-specific work permits, and study permits. The key feature of the IMP is its flexibility and the ability to provide work or study opportunities without the stringent requirements associated with permanent residency programs. It allows Canada to attract and retain global talent while benefiting from their contributions to the Canadian economy and society. The IMP is an essential component of Canada's immigration strategy, offering pathways for temporary residence that may lead to more permanent status in the future for those who choose to stay in the country. *

START-UP VISA: START-UP VISA: Pax Law will do all the legal work necessary to make a complete application for a Start-up Visa ("SUV"). The scope of our services is as follows: A designated corporate lawyer (“Corporate Lawyer”) at Pax Law will register a British Columbia or Canada Corporation for the team. The Corporate Lawyer will advise the client on the most appropriate structure and jurisdiction for the company. The Corporate Lawyer will not advise on accounting matters; however, can introduce the client(s) to qualified chartered accountants. The Corporate Lawyer will communicate with the applicants throughout the process to ensure he/she has a good understanding of the new business (“Start-Up”) so he/she can help the client to develop a good business plan. What differentiates Pax Law from many other service providers is that we do not use boilerplate business plans. Each business plan that we draft is unique and designed to the client’s specifications. After the Corporate Lawyer is done incorporating the company, preparing all minute book inserts, and have written a business plan. Then Pax Law’s immigration department, comprised of three managing individuals, one lawyer, and two Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants with the help of a team of dozen paralegals will work on preparing all the required documents for submission. We charge $78,000 total for all the legal work necessary for a SUV application payable in three equal installments of $26,000. The first installment is due on signing this agreement – this first installment is non-refundable, regardless of the result; the second installment is due at the time of receipt of Letter of Support (“LOS”); and, the last installment is due at the time of receipt of Work Permit. In making an SUV application we have to work with one or more of the following: incubators, angel investors, or venture capitalists (“Business Helper”). We will help clients to find Business Helper; However, the clients are responsible for executing the agreement with the Business Helpers and paying their fees. Incubators are usually less expensive to work with compared to angel investors and venture capitalists. For example, for a group of five (5), MTA charges approximately $40,000. While we do our best to make a successful application, however, we cannot guarantee any result. *
