Immigration documents impose strict government deadlines — visa expiries, procedural response windows, and appeal periods. This example shows how DueCounsel extracts those deadlines from an IRCC decision letter.
Your application for permanent residence has been refused on the basis of misrepresentation under section 40(1)(a) of the IRPA. You have 15 days from the date you received this decision to file an application for leave for judicial review before the Federal Court. A copy of this letter has been sent to the Minister. You may also apply to the Immigration Appeal Division within 30 days if you hold permanent resident status.

DueCounsel extraction output
| Extracted date | Deadline type | Action item | Responsible party | Confidence | Calendar export |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15 days from receipt (~May 9) | Judicial review deadline | File application for leave for judicial review | Applicant / Counsel | High | ICS / CSV |
| 30 days from receipt (~May 24) | Appeal deadline | File appeal to Immigration Appeal Division | Applicant / Counsel | Medium | ICS / CSV |
Why this matters
Immigration appeal and judicial review deadlines are jurisdictional — missing them permanently closes the avenue of challenge. The 15-day judicial review window is extremely short.
Lawyer review required
Both deadlines are computed from the date of receipt of the letter, not the date of issue. Confirm the received date before calculating and confirming the calendar entries.
