At Anwar Immigration Law Office, we assist Canadian citizens who have been refused a passport or have had their passport revoked, suspended, or cancelled. The authority to take such actions rests with the Ministers of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada and Public Safety. Decisions are made based on reliable information, and reasons may include not being a Canadian citizen, providing false or incomplete information, facing criminal charges, or concerns related to national security or serious offences.

Passport issues can arise in different forms. A refusal may occur if eligibility requirements are not met or legal concerns exist. A suspension can happen, for example, when an individual has failed to meet legal obligations such as child support payments, requiring the passport to be returned until the matter is resolved. Cancellation renders a passport invalid for travel, often due to serious concerns, while revocation permanently removes passport privileges due to factors such as fraud, misuse, or loss of citizenship.

If you are under investigation or have received a negative decision, you have the right to be informed of the reasons and to respond before a final determination is made. Authorities assess each case on a balance of probabilities, and outcomes may include refusal, revocation, or temporary ineligibility for passport services. At Anwar Immigration Law Office, we carefully review your situation, help you respond effectively, and guide you on legal options, including seeking judicial review where appropriate.
