When is the deadline for appeal to the federal court of appeal on a certified question (immigration and citizenship)?
The catalogue records a 30 days period from Pronouncement of the judgment of the Federal Court under appeal. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
In preparation
The existing catalogue does not yet have a registered adapter or source evidence for this exact question. It remains available as a public preparation page only.
Example pending review
A separately reviewed fixture is required before this question can become indexable. The page does not present an unreviewed output as an example.
Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 30 days
- Trigger
- Pronouncement of the judgment of the Federal Court under appeal
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- Extendable by order of a judge of the Federal Court (r 20(1)(b)) - note that the extension is granted by the Federal Court, not the Federal Court of Appeal.
- An appeal exists at all only if the judge, in rendering judgment, certifies that a serious question of general importance is involved and states the question (IRPA s 74(d); Citizenship Act s 22.2(d)). The judge must give the parties an opportunity to request certification before rendering judgment (SOR/93-22, r 18(1)). The July and August exclusion in Federal Courts Act s 27(2)(b) does NOT apply here: this is a self-contained 30 day period in the immigration Rules. Rule 20 read in full on verification.
