Overview

Denied? At Risk? Seeking Protection? We Can Help.

Immigration isn't always a straightforward path. If your application has been refused, you're facing removal, or you're in Canada under exceptional circumstances, Velox Immigration provides professional support for appeals, refugee claims, and humanitarian & compassionate (H&C) applications. We're here when the stakes are highest.

Who we help

Who This Is For

This service is ideal for:

  • Individuals with a refused visa or sponsorship application

  • Permanent residents facing loss of status or removal orders

  • Refugee claimants in need of legal representation before the IRB

  • Foreign nationals in Canada applying for H&C consideration due to hardship

  • Clients seeking judicial review or appeals before the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD)

Our services

What we offer

We represent and support clients through complex, high-stakes immigration matters:

01

Appeals (IAD)

We handle immigration appeals for sponsorship refusals, residency obligation breaches, and removal orders. Our services include gathering evidence, preparing legal submissions, coordinating with counsel, and representing you at hearings before the IAD.

02

Refugee Claims

We represent individuals claiming asylum in Canada based on fear of persecution, risk to life, or cruel and unusual treatment. We assist with claim preparation, form completion (Basis of Claim), supporting documentation, and representation at the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB).

03

Humanitarian & Compassionate (H&C) Applications

When you have compelling personal circumstances and no other pathway to remain in Canada, we build a strong H&C application. We highlight hardship, establishment in Canada, best interests of children, and other compassionate grounds to support your case.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD)?
The IAD is a tribunal where you can appeal certain immigration decisions—like sponsorship refusals, removal orders, or loss of PR status.
Can I appeal a refugee claim refusal?
Not all claimants have appeal rights. In some cases, you may seek leave for judicial review in Federal Court.
What qualifies as "compassionate grounds"?
Establishment in Canada, family hardship, medical issues, or best interests of children may be considered in H&C cases.
Can I be removed from Canada while my H&C application is processing?
Yes—unless you have a stay of removal. We help you explore all possible legal protections.
Is legal representation necessary for a refugee claim?
While not mandatory, it's highly recommended. The IRB process is complex and emotional; professional support improves your chances.
What will be the processing time?
Timelines vary by complexity, region, and case type. Urgent timelines may apply in some removal scenarios.
