A PAP is a formal process undertaken before filing for a judicial review. It allows you to challenge an unfair immigration decision by notifying the decision-maker of your intent to seek a review and providing them an opportunity to reconsider.

You should consider a PAP if you believe an immigration decision has been made unlawfully or unfairly. Acting quickly is important, as there are strict time limits for filing a judicial review after a PAP.

Typically, the decision-maker has 14 days to respond to a PAP letter, but timelines can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the decision-maker’s response.

Filing a PAP does not guarantee that you will avoid court, but it often leads to a resolution without the need for judicial review. Many cases are resolved at this stage, saving time and costs.
