What is a Mandamus?
A Mandamus is a Federal Court order that compels IRCC to make a decision on your immigration file. It does not guarantee approval — it forces the government to stop delaying and act on your application.

Frequently Asked Questions?
What you need to know
Will this hurt my application?
No. Filing a Mandamus or Judicial Review does not negatively affect your immigration application. It is a legal right recognized by Canadian courts. Federal Court processes thousands of these cases every year.
How much does it cost?
Costs depend on the complexity of your case. During the free consultation, we'll give you a clear picture of fees before you commit to anything. No surprises.
What if my delay isn't long enough?
If your application is still within normal IRCC processing times, we'll tell you honestly. We'll also let you know when your wait crosses the threshold so you can act at the right time.
What does "winning" actually mean?
The Federal Court does not grant visas. A Mandamus forces IRCC to make a decision — typically within 30 to 90 days
Do I need documents to get started?
Not at first. We only need your basic application details (type, country, submission date). Documents are only required later if your case moves forward.
I'm outside Canada — can you still help?
Yes. Canadian Future handles cases for applicants worldwide. The Federal Court process can be initiated regardless of where you are currently located.
