225: How appeal or matter lodged

You could also call this:

“How to properly submit an appeal or matter to the Immigration and Protection Tribunal”

When you want to appeal or bring a matter to the Immigration and Protection Tribunal, you need to follow some rules. You must submit your appeal or matter in the way that’s been set out by the Tribunal. If there’s a fee, you need to pay it when you submit.

You also need to give the Tribunal two important pieces of information: an address where they can contact you and an address where they can send you official documents. These are called your contact address and your address for service. It’s your job to tell the Tribunal right away if either of these addresses changes.

Remember, it’s important to follow these steps carefully to make sure your appeal or matter is properly lodged with the Tribunal.
