They will have access to make an application for leave and judicial review at the Federal Court if they think there was an error in the assessment of their application, namely, that there was a misrepresentation finding that was not done fairly. That would be the main mechanism in most cases, the application for leave and judicial review. In other cases, depending on the class of immigrant, they may also have an appeal, for instance, to the immigration appeal division. Certainly, clients are routinely asking for reassessment of their applications, so there are various mechanisms within the department where we hear informal processes for appeal. They will come in or write to the actual visa office or the local office that made the finding, or they may write to headquarters. We have a case management division that handles this type of inquiry.
