Protecting Those Who Need It Most
Canada is a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention. Eligible persons can claim refugee protection from within Canada — at a port of entry or inland at an IRCC office. The RPD hears the claim and makes a determination. We prepare your Basis of Claim narrative, gather country condition evidence, and represent you at your RPD hearing.
