FAQs: Refugee Claim Consultants in Burnaby
Who qualifies to make a refugee claim in Canada?▼
You may qualify if you face serious risk of persecution in your home country based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. You can also qualify if you personally face a risk to your life or risk of torture. An RCIC or immigration lawyer can assess whether your circumstances meet the legal threshold.
How do I make a refugee claim in Canada?▼
You can make a refugee claim at a port of entry when arriving in Canada or at an inland IRCC office if you are already in the country. You will be referred to the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) for a hearing. The process involves completing a Basis of Claim (BOC) form and attending a formal hearing — professional representation is strongly recommended.
Can a consultant represent me at an IRB hearing?▼
Yes. A licensed RCIC or immigration lawyer is authorized to represent and appear with you at an IRB refugee hearing. Given the high stakes and complexity of refugee proceedings, professional representation significantly improves your ability to present your case clearly and respond to questions from the decision-maker.
What happens if my refugee claim is refused?▼
If your claim is refused, you may have options including applying to the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD), requesting a judicial review at the Federal Court, or applying for a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA). Each option has strict deadlines. Contact a consultant or immigration lawyer immediately after a refusal to understand your options.
