The Importance of Meeting Deadlines in Immigration Applications

In the recent Federal Court decision of Saffar v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration)2025 FC 645, the court reaffirmed the importance of adhering to deadlines when applying for permanent residence. Hiva Saffar’s failure to pay the Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) by the specified deadline resulted in the refusal of her application — and that of the three others who depended on hers. The court found that IRCC’s decision was reasonable, highlighting that missed deadlines and procedural fairness are critical to the application process.
