As a holder of the RCIC-IRB licence class, Visoval can represent you directly before the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada — the independent tribunal that decides refugee claims, appeals, detention, and admissibility matters. This is authority that not every immigration consultant holds.
If you have received a refusal, a hearing notice, a detention review date, or a procedural fairness letter, some deadlines can be as short as 15 days and are rarely extended. Contact us as early as possible so your case can be prepared properly. Request urgent help ›
The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) is Canada's largest independent administrative tribunal. It makes decisions on immigration and refugee matters through four divisions:
Representing yourself before the IRB is possible — but the process is legal, evidentiary, and time-sensitive. Skilled, regulated representation can make a decisive difference.
Only immigration consultants who hold the specialized RCIC-IRB licence class are authorized by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants to represent clients in hearings before the IRB. A standard RCIC licence does not include this authority.
Visoval holds this authorization — meaning your temporary status, permanent residence, and any protection or appeal matter can be handled by one regulated professional who knows your file.
Thorough preparation, careful evidence-gathering, and professional advocacy at every stage.
Assessing eligibility, preparing your claim, and guiding you through the process of seeking Canada's protection.
Careful, accurate preparation of your Basis of Claim narrative and supporting documentation — the foundation of your case.
Preparing you for your hearing, organizing evidence and witnesses, and representing you before the Refugee Protection Division.
If your claim is refused, we assess appeal grounds and prepare submissions to the Refugee Appeal Division within the strict deadlines.
Urgent representation at detention reviews before the Immigration Division, including alternatives-to-detention proposals.
Representation at admissibility hearings before the Immigration Division and immigration appeals where authorized.
We review your notices, deadlines, and circumstances in strict confidence and explain your options and timelines clearly.
We help you assemble a credible, well-documented record — country evidence, identity documents, witness statements, and a clear narrative.
We prepare your submissions, ensure disclosure is complete and on time, and prepare you thoroughly for questioning.
We appear with you before the relevant IRB division and advocate on your behalf, then advise on next steps after the decision.
These matters are time-sensitive and deeply personal. Reach out today for confidential, regulated representation.
