The Federal Court of Canada has indeed extended the application period for immigration judicial reviews from 30 to 75 days, effective May 14, 2025. This change aims to address the growing backlog of immigration cases and provide applicants with more time to prepare comprehensive legal submissions.
Key Implications:
– Increased Timeframe: Applicants now have 75 days to apply for judicial review after receiving an immigration decision, up from the previous 30-day limit.
– Complex Refusals*: This extension will particularly benefit individuals navigating complex refusals or seeking legal remedies after IRCC decisions.
– Systemic Backlogs The change acknowledges the rising volumes of immigration litigation and aims to alleviate systemic backlogs.
