Case Study: Work Permit Refusal and Deportation Order for an Iranian Applicant
At Arnika Visa, we encounter cases where immigration matters intersect with complex legal challenges, requiring specialized expertise. This story involves an Iranian applicant facing a work permit refusal and a subsequent deportation order due to inadmissibility stemming from a criminal charge.
Background of the Case
The applicant, an Iranian national, arrived in Canada as a teenager at the age of 15. He completed high school in Vancouver and later moved to Montreal to pursue higher education, where he earned a college certificate.
While living in Montreal, the applicant faced allegations of harassment from a former girlfriend. A public lawyer representing him pro bono advised him to plead guilty to avoid a more severe penalty. By accepting the plea deal, the applicant received a sentence of community service as part of his rehabilitation process.
During his rehabilitation period, before completing his community service and applying for parole, the applicant sought to secure his legal status in Canada by applying for a three-year work permit under the Iranian Temporary Policy.
Work Permit Refusal and Deportation Order
Despite the unique policy designed to support Iranian nationals, IRCC refused the applicant’s work permit application. The work permit refusal cited inadmissibility based on his criminal record, as the charges and plea indicated that he had failed to meet the criteria for rehabilitation.
This refusal led to a deportation order, requiring the applicant to leave Canada, despite having spent significant formative years in the country. The order compounded the applicant’s distress, as he had built a life in Canada through education and connections.

Seeking Help from Arnika Visa
The applicant sought assistance from RCIC, Reza Eslami at Arnika Visa. During the consultation, the RCIC reviewed his case thoroughly, including the circumstances of his criminal charge, the refusal of his work permit application, and the deportation order.
Recognizing the complexities of the case—particularly the intersection of immigration and criminal law—the RCIC advised that this matter required specialized legal expertise. The applicant was referred to a law firm experienced in handling such intricate cases, with the hope of:
- Challenging the deportation order through legal channels.
- Exploring rehabilitation measures to address the inadmissibility issue.
- Protecting the applicant’s ability to remain in Canada, given his long-term ties to the country.
Conclusion: A Critical Turning Point
This case demonstrates how non-immigration legal matters, such as criminal charges, can significantly impact an individual’s immigration status. The applicant’s plea deal, though intended to minimize consequences, resulted in long-term challenges jeopardizing his remaining in Canada.
While Arnika Visa was unable to directly resolve this case, the referral to a specialized legal firm provided the applicant with the best opportunity to challenge the deportation order and work toward rehabilitation.
