Refugee Protection

If you are fleeing persecution, violence, or human rights abuses in your home country, you may be eligible for refugee protection in Canada.

Refugee protection is a legal status granted to individuals who are unable or unwilling to return to their home country due to a well-founded fear of persecution based on factors such as race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.

In Canada, the process of applying for refugee protection involves submitting a refugee claim and undergoing an assessment by the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) to determine if you meet the criteria for refugee status. If your claim is accepted, you will be granted refugee protection, allowing you to remain in Canada and access various benefits and services.

We provide skilled guidance and representation throughout the application process. We ensure that your application is thorough, accurate, and presents your case in the strongest possible way. Our goal is to maximize your chances of a successful outcome and provide you with the support you need during this critical time.

If your refugee claim has been rejected by the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB), you may have the option to appeal the decision to the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD). The RAD reviews certain types of decisions made by the IRB and provides an opportunity for reconsideration.

To appeal to the RAD, you must submit your Notice of Appeal within 15 days of having received it. Your lawyer will submit written arguments to the RAD to demonstrate the errors or omissions in the original decision. The RAD will then review of your case, and either accept or reject the appeal.

We understand the RAD’s processes and requirements and can guide you through the appeal, present your case persuasively and maximize your chances of success. Our goal is to advocate for your rights, present a compelling case, and increase the likelihood of a successful outcome.
