Seeking Refugee Protection in Canada or Dealing With an Appeal?
Canada’s refugee protection system provides a process for people who may need protection because of persecution or other serious risks in their country of origin.
A refugee claim involves important legal and procedural requirements, making proper preparation particularly important.
Why Is Professional Guidance Important?
Depending on your situation, you may need guidance with:
- Preparing a refugee claim
- Understanding the refugee protection process
- Organizing supporting evidence
- Preparing for proceedings
- Understanding a negative decision
- Determining whether an appeal may be available
- Preparing an appeal
- Understanding procedural requirements and deadlines
If you receive a negative decision from the Refugee Protection Division, you may be able to appeal to the Refugee Appeal Division in eligible cases. The rules and eligibility requirements need to be considered carefully.
Deadlines Can Be Extremely Important
If you are eligible to appeal an RPD decision to the RAD, the current IRB guidance states that the Notice of Appeal generally must be filed within 15 days of receiving the written reasons for the decision. The appellant’s record generally must then be provided within 45 days.
Missing a deadline can create additional complications, so people dealing with a refugee decision should act promptly.
