Refugee Protection & Asylum Proceedings
Legal representation relating to Canadian refugee claims, Basis of Claim (BOC) preparation, and Refugee Protection Division (RPD) hearings.
RPD & RAD Proceedings • IRPA ss. 96 & 97
Legal Overview & Strategic Approach
Canada provides sanctuary to individuals with a well-founded fear of persecution or who face danger of torture, risk to life, or cruel and unusual treatment. We represent claimants before the Refugee Protection Division (RPD) and Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) with thorough evidence compilation and rigorous hearing preparation.
Statutory Authority & Governing Legal Framework
Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (S.C. 2001, c. 27), ss. 96 (Convention Refugee), 97 (Person in Need of Protection); IRB Chairperson Guidelines.
Scope of Legal Representation
Refugee claim eligibility assessment and intake portal filing
Detailed Basis of Claim (BOC) narrative preparation and corroboration
Country condition research and specialized expert evidence compilation
Representation before the Refugee Protection Division (RPD) at hearings
Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) appeals from negative RPD decisions
Key Procedural Considerations
- •Strict statutory definition of Convention Refugee and Person in Need of Protection
- •State protection and Internal Flight Alternative (IFA) evidentiary standards
- •Expedited hearing timelines established by the Immigration and Refugee Board
- •Post-claim interim work permit and Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) access
