Where can someone get help if they are facing an application for cessation or vacation?

Someone who is facing an application for cessation or vacation should get legal help.

There is no appeal to the Refugee Appeal Division from a cessation or vacation order. However, a lawyer can ask the Federal Court if it will agree to review the decision. This is called an ‘application for leave’.

There is a deadline of 15 days for applying to the Federal Court.
