Hi there,
I got my decision letter last week and my previous lawyer were suppose to appeal it. But today, my lawyer called me and told he can not appeal it for me. Because he can not find strong reason to present strong merit to present to Legal Aid.
We are suppose to appeal negative decision refugee claimant in 15 days and right now i am out of time. I am taking help from legal aid, I need to get their approval too. What do i do now? I am really stress and nervous.
Regards,
It neva ends :(

try getting another lawyer who can help you to get aloan from legal aid.
or get loans from friends/family to hire another lawyer

If not, then try to present yourself and do the homework of reading immigration act and laws (refugees specifically) to support your case

Hire your own lawyer rather than relying on Legal Aid.

I'm sorry - I don't have any direct experiences with lawyers. You could reach out to the lawyer who owns this forum. I believe he's located in Toronto.
