    How long does an appeal take in Alberta?

    It depends on the case. Each case goes through several steps.

    The first step is filing the appeal, which must be done within thirty days of receiving your refusal. This prompts the government to take the next step, which is to prepare your records and send them to your lawyer. They are required to do this within 45 days.

    Some cases don’t go to court. They go through the Alternative Dispute Resolution process instead. This might mean early resolution for your case. If your case is chosen for ADR then your ADR date will be six to nine months after the Appeals Division selects the case for this option.

    Your case might be resolved during ADR. If it isn’t, it might proceed to a court hearing. It may be up to one year before you receive your day in court.

    What are the chances of winning immigration appeal?

    Everything depends on the facts of your case, and some of it will be arguable both for and against you. This is one of the reasons why you need an experienced immigration lawyer on your side. Appeals aren’t as simple as filling out a form.

    Your lawyer can also advise you on what you can be doing between making the appeal and your eventual decision date that might help you strengthen your case. Your actions will matter and will be taken into account. The reasons for your denial will also play a big role in your case.
