UPDATED 1- Convention Refugee Claim (Protected Person Claim Made in Canada) Scope of Services, Responsibilities of Lawyer and Client Pax Law Corporation (the “Firm”) is retained to provide legal services relating to the preparation and submission of a Convention Refugee Claim and/or Protected Person Claim made in Canada on behalf of the Principal Applicant and any included family members identified in this Retainer Agreement. The Firm will provide legal consultation, assessment of eligibility, review of relevant facts, legal strategy, preparation and completion of the Basis of Claim (“BOC”) Form, review and organization of supporting documentation provided by the Client, preparation of routine supporting submissions, and routine correspondence with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (“IRCC”), the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (“IRB”), and/or the Canada Border Services Agency (“CBSA”) relating to the preparation and filing of the refugee claim. The Client acknowledges that refugee claims are highly fact-specific matters and that the success of a claim depends substantially upon the completeness, consistency, credibility, and accuracy of the information and supporting documentation provided. The Firm will rely upon the information and documents supplied by the Client and does not independently verify the authenticity, accuracy, or completeness of such information unless specifically agreed in writing. The Client is solely responsible for ensuring that all facts, documents, translations, explanations, and supporting evidence provided to the Firm are truthful, accurate, and complete. The provision of false, altered, forged, misleading, incomplete, or fraudulent information or documentation may result in the immediate termination of legal services and may adversely affect the Client’s refugee claim. The Firm’s responsibilities under this fixed-fee retainer are limited to routine refugee claim preparation and submission services. Included services consist of legal consultation, case assessment, legal strategy, drafting assistance, document review, preparation of forms, assembly of supporting materials, preparation of routine supporting submissions, and routine communications required to prepare and submit the refugee claim. This retainer does not include independent factual investigation, country-condition research beyond routine preparation, preparation of expert evidence, procurement of expert reports, psychological assessments, medical reports, witness interviews, witness statements, country experts, military or security documentation, police records, intelligence records, translation services, interpreter services, notarization services, commissioner services, or any service not expressly described above. This retainer does not include preparation of hearing records, witness preparation, preparation of witness statements, preparation of post-hearing submissions, attendance at hearings, attendance at special conferences, attendance at admissibility proceedings, attendance at detention reviews, attendance at examinations, representation before the Refugee Appeal Division (“RAD”), Federal Court, Canada Border Services Agency, Immigration Division, Immigration Appeal Division, or any other tribunal, board, court, or governmental authority unless expressly retained under a separate written agreement. This retainer further excludes judicial review applications, humanitarian and compassionate applications, pre-removal risk assessments, temporary resident permit applications, permanent residence applications, work permit applications, study permit applications, removal order matters, enforcement proceedings, appeals, reconsideration requests, post-decision services, or any other immigration matter not specifically described in this Agreement. Where CBSA requests additional information or documentation and does not intervene in proceedings, such work falls outside the fixed-fee scope and may be performed for an additional flat fee of $1,500.00 inclusive of applicable taxes. Where CBSA actively participates in proceedings, raises exclusion issues, admissibility concerns, identity concerns, credibility concerns, security concerns, criminality concerns, organized crime concerns, or otherwise intervenes before the IRB or RPD, such work shall be considered non-routine legal services and may be undertaken for an additional flat fee of $3,500.00 inclusive of applicable taxes or such other fee as may be agreed in writing. The Client acknowledges that all immigration and refugee applications are governed by the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, related regulations, Ministerial Instructions, operational manuals, government policies, jurisprudence, and future legislative amendments. Changes in legislation, regulations, government policy, eligibility requirements, procedural requirements, judicial decisions, administrative practices, or government priorities may affect the Client’s matter before or after filing. The Firm has no control over such changes and shall not be responsible for their effect on the Client’s claim. The Client understands that government processing times are determined entirely by government authorities and may change without notice. The Firm has no control over processing times, scheduling of hearings, scheduling of interviews, requests for information, security screening processes, eligibility determinations, or decisions made by government authorities or tribunals. The quoted fee is based upon the Firm performing the agreed work promptly following retention and proceeding with the matter in the ordinary course. If the Client requests that work be completed now but filing, submission, implementation, use, reliance, updating, or further action occur at a later date, the quoted fee covers only the original work performed. Any future review, amendment, revision, updating of forms, updating of evidence, updating of information, confirmation of instructions, reassessment of eligibility, preparation of additional supporting materials, or other substantive work requested after completion of the original work shall be billed separately. Any substantive additional work exceeding one (1) hour shall be billed at the rate of $500.00 per hour plus applicable taxes and disbursements. The Client understands and agrees that if any updates are requested regarding the application, including the preparation or submission of additional forms, letters, supporting documents, explanations, corrections, responses to government correspondence, or changes after submission of the application, additional fees will apply. This includes but is not limited to changes in marital status, family composition, employment history, immigration status, travel history, identity information, contact information, or any other amendment affecting the application. Rush matters may be subject to an additional fee of thirty percent (30%). Complex or non-routine matters may be subject to an additional fee of thirty percent (30%). Exceptional tasks, procedural fairness responses, inadmissibility matters, extraordinary updates, post-submission amendments, or work outside the original scope may be billed at the Firm’s hourly rate of $500.00 per hour plus applicable taxes and disbursements. Identity verification is mandatory. Before the Firm can review, open, process, or act upon the Client’s matter, the Client must successfully complete identity verification through the Firm’s designated verification platform and provide two valid government-issued identification documents. Failure to complete identity verification may delay or prevent the Firm from proceeding with the matter. Email shall be the primary method of communication. The Client must maintain a valid and regularly monitored email address and must promptly respond to requests for information. Documents must be supplied by email unless otherwise instructed. The Firm shall not be responsible for delays resulting from the Client’s failure to provide instructions, documents, explanations, signatures, or requested information in a timely manner. The Client acknowledges that refugee matters require ongoing cooperation and timely provision of documents and instructions. If the Client fails to provide requested information, documents, signatures, or instructions for more than ninety (90) consecutive days, the Firm may place the file into inactive status. Reactivation of an inactive file may require payment of a reactivation fee and any additional work required due to changes in law, policy, forms, country conditions, or the Client’s circumstances will be billed separately at the Firm’s then-current rates. The Firm shall not be responsible for missed opportunities, delays, deadlines, changes in eligibility, or adverse consequences resulting from Client delay. The Client acknowledges that if the Client leaves Canada voluntarily, is removed from Canada, becomes subject to removal, abandons the refugee claim, loses contact with the Firm, becomes ineligible for refugee protection, or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to proceed, all fees earned for services already performed shall remain immediately due and payable and shall not be refundable. The Firm may withdraw from representation where permitted by applicable law society rules, including but not limited to non-payment of fees, loss of confidence, failure to follow legal advice, inability to communicate with the Client, conflicts of interest, provision of false information, unreasonable instructions, unethical conduct, unlawful conduct, or any circumstance making continued representation inappropriate. The Client may terminate the retainer at any time but remains responsible for fees, taxes, disbursements, and work performed to the date of termination. Professional Fees and Flat-Fee Retainers The Client acknowledges that legal fees are charged for professional services rendered and not for any particular result. Fees are earned as services are performed. A substantial portion of the work involved in a refugee claim occurs before filing, including legal consultation, credibility assessment, legal analysis, review of supporting documentation, development of legal strategy, preparation of forms, preparation of submissions, review of evidence, and preparation of the filing package. Upon submission of the refugee claim package, most or all of the agreed fee will ordinarily be considered earned, subject to applicable law society rules. Fees are not contingent upon approval, processing times, eligibility findings, credibility findings, government decisions, legislative changes, policy changes, or final outcomes. Governing Law and Professional Regulation This Retainer Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the applicable federal laws of Canada. Where legal services are provided to clients residing in Ontario, or where a lawyer regulated by the Law Society of Ontario has carriage of the file, this Agreement shall additionally be subject to the applicable Rules of Professional Conduct of the Law Society of Ontario. References to professional obligations, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, withdrawal, trust accounting, client identification, and standards of professional conduct shall be interpreted in accordance with the rules governing the lawyer primarily responsible for the file, including where applicable the Law Society of British Columbia and the Law Society of Ontario. Independent Legal Advice The Client acknowledges that they have been encouraged to review this Retainer Agreement carefully and have had the opportunity to obtain independent legal advice prior to signing. By signing this Agreement, the Client confirms that they understand its terms and enter into it voluntarily. No Tax Advice Disclaimer The Firm does not practice tax law and does not provide tax advice. The Client is responsible for obtaining independent advice from a qualified accountant, tax lawyer, or other qualified tax professional regarding any tax consequences arising from immigration status, refugee protection, employment, benefits, property ownership, or any other tax-related matter. The Firm disclaims responsibility for any tax consequences arising from the Client’s circumstances. The Client acknowledges that legal services are provided in accordance with the professional obligations of the lawyer responsible for the file and the rules of the applicable Canadian law society governing that lawyer’s practice. No guarantee, warranty, or promise has been made regarding eligibility, acceptance of the claim, credibility findings, processing times, refugee status determination, future appeals, judicial review outcomes, or any other result. The Client consents to the Firm’s collection, use, storage, and disclosure of personal information for the purpose of providing legal services and meeting professional obligations. The Client acknowledges that secure cloud-based storage systems may be used in accordance with applicable professional obligations and privacy laws. The Client agrees to attempt resolution of any fee dispute or service dispute through discussion and, where appropriate, mediation or arbitration before commencing litigation. If the agreed fee is not fully paid, or if the agreed payment arrangement is not established, within seven (7) days of execution of this Retainer Agreement, this Retainer Agreement shall automatically become null and void without further notice, and the Firm shall have no obligation to provide legal services. Any future engagement may be subject to revised fees, revised scope, revised payment terms, or refusal of representation. By signing this Retainer Agreement, the Client acknowledges that they have read, understood, and agreed to all of the terms above and have had the opportunity to obtain independent legal advice before signing. *

UPDATED 2- Convention Refugee Claim + Application for Leave and Judicial Review + Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) Package Scope of Services, Responsibilities of Lawyer and Client Pax Law Corporation (the “Firm”) is retained to provide a bundled legal services package consisting of: (a) preparation and submission of a Convention Refugee Claim; (b) preparation and conduct of an Application for Leave and Judicial Review (“ALJR”) before the Federal Court relating to PRRA eligibility issues, including but not limited to ineligibility arising from Bill C-12 or any successor legislative provision; and (c) preliminary preparation and, where eligibility subsequently arises, completion and submission of a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (“PRRA”) application. This package is intended to provide coordinated legal representation to individuals facing removal from Canada who may pursue refugee protection, challenge PRRA ineligibility, and preserve future PRRA opportunities where available. The Firm will provide legal consultation, review of immigration history, review of previous applications and proceedings, assessment of legal issues affecting eligibility, review of identity documents, travel history, family composition, country-of-origin information, and claimed risk factors, and provide legal advice regarding procedural options and case strategy. The Client acknowledges that all opinions, advice, and recommendations are based upon the information provided by the Client and the law as it exists when services are rendered. The Firm makes no representation that any particular remedy, application, judicial review, PRRA proceeding, refugee claim, or legal strategy will remain available or become successful. For the Convention Refugee Claim component, the Firm will conduct routine refugee claim preparation services, including taking instructions from the Client, preparing and reviewing the Basis of Claim (“BOC”) Form, reviewing supporting documentation provided by the Client, organizing evidence, preparing routine supporting materials, providing claim strategy advice, and preparing and submitting the refugee claim package where authorized and able to do so. This package may include general refugee hearing preparation meetings where appropriate. However, this retainer does not include preparation of hearing records, witness preparation, preparation of witness statements, preparation of post-hearing submissions, attendance at hearings, attendance at special conferences, attendance at admissibility proceedings, attendance at detention reviews, attendance at examinations, representation before the Refugee Protection Division (“RPD”), Refugee Appeal Division (“RAD”), Immigration Division (“ID”), Immigration Appeal Division (“IAD”), Federal Court, Canada Border Services Agency (“CBSA”), Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (“IRCC”), or any other tribunal, court, board, or governmental authority unless specifically retained under a separate written agreement. For the Application for Leave and Judicial Review component, the Firm will review the legislative provision, decision, policy, or determination giving rise to the Client’s PRRA ineligibility, assess potential grounds for judicial review, prepare Federal Court materials, draft notices, applications, affidavits, records, and written submissions required for the routine conduct of the judicial review proceeding, and communicate with the Department of Justice, the Federal Court, and relevant governmental authorities where necessary. Unless specifically agreed otherwise in writing, this retainer does not include appeals to the Federal Court of Appeal, motions, constitutional challenges, stays of removal, mandamus applications, settlement negotiations, contempt proceedings, enforcement proceedings, costs proceedings, extraordinary remedies, or any Federal Court litigation beyond the specific Application for Leave and Judicial Review contemplated by this retainer. For the PRRA component, the Client acknowledges that PRRA eligibility is established exclusively by law and government procedures and that neither eligibility nor timing is controlled by the Firm. CBSA alone determines when a person becomes eligible for PRRA and when a PRRA notification package may be issued. Depending upon the circumstances of the Client, a PRRA opportunity may arise shortly after commencement of services, many months later, several years later, or potentially never arise. The Client acknowledges that persons benefiting from Administrative Deferrals of Removal (“ADR”) or similar policy-based measures may not receive a PRRA package for an extended period of time. The Client specifically retains the Firm to commence substantial PRRA preparation immediately, regardless of whether a PRRA package has been issued. This advance preparation is undertaken because statutory PRRA deadlines are often insufficient to gather evidence, obtain translations, prepare affidavits, secure supporting documentation, and prepare comprehensive submissions after a package is issued. Accordingly, the Firm may immediately begin reviewing country condition evidence, assessing risk factors, developing legal arguments, identifying evidentiary deficiencies, preparing draft submissions, and undertaking other preparatory work in anticipation of future PRRA eligibility. The Client specifically acknowledges and agrees that if PRRA eligibility is subsequently restored, recognized, created, established, or otherwise becomes available through legislative amendments, policy changes, ministerial directions, settlements, administrative changes, jurisprudential developments, Federal Court decisions involving other litigants, or any circumstance unrelated to litigation conducted specifically by the Firm on behalf of the Client, all fees paid pursuant to this retainer remain fully earned and non-refundable. The Client understands that substantial legal services are being performed immediately and long before any future PRRA eligibility may arise. No refund, credit, reduction, offset, apportionment, or reimbursement shall be payable solely because eligibility is later restored through circumstances outside the specific litigation conducted on the Client's behalf. The Client acknowledges that advance PRRA preparation constitutes valuable legal work performed immediately and that fees paid for such work are earned upon performance. If PRRA eligibility subsequently arises, the Firm will review eligibility requirements, review updated country condition evidence, assess updated risk factors, prepare and complete PRRA forms, prepare affidavits and legal submissions, review supporting documentation, and submit the PRRA application where authorized and able to do so. The Firm relies entirely upon the accuracy, completeness, and truthfulness of the information and documentation provided by the Client. The Firm does not independently verify the authenticity, accuracy, or completeness of documents, translations, statements, affidavits, records, or supporting materials unless specifically agreed in writing. The Client is solely responsible for ensuring that all information and documentation provided is truthful, complete, and accurate. The provision of false, altered, fraudulent, misleading, incomplete, or fabricated information may result in immediate termination of legal services and may adversely affect the Client’s immigration matters. This retainer covers routine services only. It does not include specialized or expert evidence, expert reports, psychological assessments, country experts, medical experts, interpreters, certified translations, notarization services, commissioner services, medical examinations, courier expenses, filing fees, Federal Court disbursements, travel expenses, admissibility proceedings, detention matters, enforcement proceedings, removal interventions, humanitarian and compassionate applications, permanent residence applications, temporary resident permit applications, work permit applications, study permit applications, restoration applications, ministerial relief applications, additional judicial review applications, stays of removal, mandamus proceedings, constitutional litigation, settlement negotiations, extraordinary motions, urgent proceedings, or any immigration matter not expressly identified in this retainer. The Client understands and agrees that if any updates are requested regarding the refugee claim, judicial review, PRRA application, supporting documents, affidavits, submissions, forms, personal circumstances, family composition, marital status, immigration history, employment information, travel history, contact information, identity information, or any other factor affecting the matter, additional legal fees shall apply. Such services are outside the fixed-fee scope and will be billed separately in accordance with the Firm’s then-current rates. The Client further acknowledges that the quoted fee is based upon the Firm performing the agreed work at the present time and proceeding with the matter in the ordinary course. Where the Firm performs substantial work now for use at a future date, including advance preparation of PRRA materials, country condition evidence, affidavits, legal research, submissions, or supporting documentation, the quoted fee compensates the Firm for that work regardless of when future eligibility arises. If future review, revision, updating, amendment, supplementation, re-drafting, re-assessment, re-filing, confirmation of instructions, updating of evidence, updating of country conditions information, or review of changed circumstances becomes necessary after completion of the original work, such services are outside the original scope. Any substantive additional work exceeding one (1) hour shall be billed at $500.00 per hour plus applicable taxes and disbursements. Rush matters may be subject to an additional fee of thirty percent (30%). Complex or non-routine matters may be subject to an additional fee of thirty percent (30%). Exceptional tasks, procedural fairness responses, inadmissibility matters, removal interventions, extraordinary updates, post-submission amendments, or work outside the original scope may be billed at the Firm’s hourly rate of $500.00 per hour plus applicable taxes and disbursements. The Client acknowledges that immigration, refugee, Federal Court, and PRRA matters are governed by the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, applicable regulations, Federal Court jurisprudence, Ministerial Instructions, government policies, operational manuals, and future legislative amendments, including Bill C-12 and any successor legislation. The Firm shall not be responsible for changes in legislation, regulations, policies, administrative practices, jurisprudence, processing priorities, or government procedures implemented after commencement of this retainer. The Client acknowledges that government authorities, tribunal members, CBSA officers, IRCC officers, Federal Court judges, and other decision-makers exercise independent statutory discretion. The Firm makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee regarding processing times, eligibility determinations, issuance of PRRA notices, refugee claim outcomes, leave decisions, judicial review outcomes, removal deferrals, PRRA approvals, or any other result. Identity verification is mandatory. Before the Firm can review, open, process, or act upon the Client’s matter, the Client must complete identity verification through the Firm’s designated platform and provide two valid government-issued identification documents. Failure to complete identity verification may delay or prevent the Firm from proceeding with the matter. Email shall be the primary method of communication. The Client must maintain an active and reliable email address and promptly respond to requests for information. Documents must be provided by email unless otherwise directed by the Firm. Delays resulting from the Client’s failure to provide instructions, documents, signatures, explanations, or information may adversely affect the matter and may result in additional fees. The Client acknowledges that immigration and refugee matters frequently remain active over extended periods of time. If the Client fails to provide requested information, documents, signatures, or instructions for more than ninety (90) consecutive days, the Firm may place the file into inactive status. Reactivation may require payment of a reactivation fee and any additional legal work required because of legislative changes, policy changes, updated forms, updated evidence, or changes in the Client’s circumstances will be billed separately. The Client acknowledges that entering into this retainer does not create, preserve, guarantee, accelerate, or establish eligibility for a PRRA. The Firm has no ability to compel CBSA, IRCC, the Federal Court, or any governmental authority to issue a PRRA package or determine eligibility for a PRRA. The Client specifically acknowledges that a PRRA opportunity may never arise and that legal fees are charged for professional services performed and not for the creation or availability of future immigration remedies. The Client acknowledges that if the Client leaves Canada voluntarily, is removed from Canada, becomes subject to removal, abandons the matter, loses contact with the Firm, loses eligibility for available remedies, or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to proceed, all fees earned for services already performed shall remain immediately due and payable and shall not be refundable. The Firm may withdraw from representation where permitted by applicable law society rules, including non-payment of fees, loss of confidence, unreasonable instructions, conflicts of interest, communication breakdowns, provision of false information, unethical conduct, unlawful conduct, or any circumstance making continued representation inappropriate. The Client may terminate the retainer at any time but remains responsible for all legal fees, taxes, disbursements, and costs incurred to the date of termination. Professional Fees and Flat-Fee Retainers The Client acknowledges that legal fees are charged for professional services rendered and not for any specific outcome. Fees are earned as services are performed. For flat-fee retainers, substantial work is often completed before filing and may include legal analysis, strategic planning, review of country conditions, Federal Court preparation, review of evidence, preparation of affidavits, preparation of forms, drafting of legal submissions, assembly of supporting documentation, and preparation of filing packages. The Client acknowledges that once substantial legal work has been completed and particularly once a refugee claim, Federal Court proceeding, PRRA package, affidavit package, or other legal filing has been prepared or submitted, most or all of the agreed fee will ordinarily be considered earned, subject to applicable law society rules. Fees are not contingent upon eligibility, approvals, processing times, restoration of PRRA eligibility, issuance of a PRRA package, judicial review success, legislative changes, policy changes, or any governmental decision. Governing Law and Professional Regulation This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the applicable federal laws of Canada. Where legal services are provided to clients residing in Ontario, or where a lawyer regulated by the Law Society of Ontario has carriage of the file, this Agreement shall additionally be subject to the applicable Rules of Professional Conduct of the Law Society of Ontario. References to professional obligations, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, withdrawal, trust accounting, client identification, and standards of professional conduct shall be interpreted in accordance with the rules governing the lawyer primarily responsible for the file. Independent Legal Advice The Client acknowledges that they have been encouraged to carefully review this Retainer Agreement and have had the opportunity to obtain independent legal advice before signing. By signing this Agreement, the Client confirms that they understand its terms and enter into it voluntarily. No Tax Advice Disclaimer The Firm does not practice tax law and does not provide tax advice. The Client is solely responsible for obtaining independent advice from qualified tax professionals regarding any tax consequences arising from immigration status, refugee protection, employment, assets, benefits, removal proceedings, or any other tax-related matter. The Client consents to the Firm’s collection, use, storage, and disclosure of personal information for the purpose of providing legal services and complying with professional obligations. The Client acknowledges that secure cloud-based storage systems may be used in accordance with applicable professional obligations and privacy laws. The Client agrees to attempt resolution of fee disputes and service disputes through discussion and, where appropriate, mediation or arbitration before commencing litigation. If the agreed fee is not fully paid, or if the agreed payment arrangement is not established, within seven (7) days of execution of this Retainer Agreement, this Retainer Agreement shall automatically become null and void without further notice, and the Firm shall have no obligation to provide legal services. Any future engagement may be subject to revised fees, revised scope, revised payment terms, or refusal of representation. The Client acknowledges that the payment plan is offered solely as a financing accommodation and does not alter the nature of the legal fee. The entire legal fee is earned as professional services are performed and remains payable regardless of the outcome of any refugee claim, judicial review proceeding, PRRA application, legislative amendment, policy change, restoration of eligibility, or removal process. Missed installment payments may result in suspension of work, cancellation of the payment arrangement, acceleration of the outstanding balance, and withdrawal of services where permitted by applicable law society rules. If the Client has not paid all installment payments in full when the Firm gives notice of the PRRA (including receipt of a PRRA notification package from CBSA), the Client must pay the entire remaining balance of the agreed fee before the Firm submits the PRRA package. The Firm is not required to submit the PRRA package until the remaining balance has been paid in full. By signing this Retainer Agreement, the Client acknowledges that they have read, understood, and agreed to all of the foregoing terms and have had the opportunity to obtain independent legal advice before signing. *

UPDATED 3- Combined (Protection-Seeker) Legal Services Package Convention Refugee Claim + Humanitarian and Compassionate Application + Preliminary PRRA Preparation Scope of Services, Responsibilities of Lawyer and Client Pax Law Corporation (the “Firm”) is retained to provide a combined immigration legal services package consisting of: (a) preparation and submission of a Convention Refugee Claim and/or Protected Person Claim; (b) preparation and submission of a Humanitarian and Compassionate (“H&C”) Permanent Residence Application; and (c) preliminary preparation of a future Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (“PRRA”) application should the Client become eligible to apply. This package is intended for individuals seeking all available protection-based immigration remedies arising from the same factual circumstances and permits the Firm to coordinate the Client’s refugee claim, humanitarian factors, and future risk-based relief strategy in a comprehensive manner. The Firm will provide legal consultation, review of immigration history, review of identity documents, travel history, family composition, prior immigration proceedings, country-of-origin information, establishment in Canada, humanitarian factors, hardship factors, and claimed risks upon return. The Firm will advise regarding case strategy and the coordination of available immigration remedies. The Client acknowledges that legal advice is based entirely upon information provided by the Client and the state of the law at the time services are rendered. The Firm does not guarantee that any particular immigration remedy, application, refugee referral, humanitarian approval, PRRA opportunity, or legal strategy will be available, successful, or appropriate at any future date. Convention Refugee Claim Component The Firm will take instructions from the Client, prepare and review the Basis of Claim (“BOC”) Form, review supporting documentation provided by the Client, organize evidence, prepare routine supporting submissions, provide legal strategy advice, and prepare and submit the refugee claim package where authorized and able to do so. The Firm will provide routine correspondence concerning refugee claim processing and may provide general guidance regarding eligibility issues, biometrics, interviews, scheduling, procedural requirements, and government requests. The Client acknowledges that legislative changes, including Bill C-12 and any successor legislation, regulations, policies, or judicial decisions, may affect eligibility for referral to the Refugee Protection Division (“RPD”), PRRA eligibility, refugee processing procedures, or other aspects of the refugee process. The Firm makes no representation or guarantee regarding eligibility, referral, processing, or outcome. Representation before the Refugee Protection Division, attendance at refugee hearings, witness preparation, preparation of hearing records, attendance at conferences, attendance at detention reviews, admissibility proceedings, appeals, judicial reviews, reconsideration requests, cessation proceedings, vacation proceedings, exclusion proceedings, or post-decision proceedings are not included unless separately retained under a written agreement. Humanitarian and Compassionate Application Component The Firm will conduct a preliminary assessment of the humanitarian merits of the case and, where appropriate, prepare and submit an H&C Permanent Residence Application. Included services consist of gathering instructions, reviewing documentation, organizing supporting evidence, drafting written submissions, preparing required forms, reviewing supporting documents, and addressing routine H&C factors including: establishment in Canada; family ties to Canada; best interests of affected children; hardship upon return; medical and humanitarian considerations; community involvement; and other humanitarian factors disclosed by the Client. Routine correspondence relating to H&C processing is included. The Firm is not responsible for obtaining third-party evidence, school records, medical reports, expert reports, psychological assessments, settlement evaluations, social worker reports, country experts, translators, interpreters, or other supporting evidence unless specifically retained to do so. Preliminary PRRA Preparation Component The Client acknowledges that eligibility for Pre-Removal Risk Assessment is determined exclusively by law and government procedures and is outside the Firm’s control. CBSA alone determines: whether the Client becomes eligible for PRRA; when eligibility arises; whether a PRRA package is issued; and applicable PRRA timelines. The Client specifically retains the Firm to commence preliminary PRRA preparation immediately, regardless of whether a PRRA package has been issued. Accordingly, $1,500.00 of the total professional fee shall be allocated toward preliminary PRRA preparation and file development. This work may include: review of refugee materials; organization of supporting evidence; preliminary risk assessment; review of country-condition issues; preparation of file structure; identification of evidentiary deficiencies; preliminary development of future PRRA arguments; and preservation of relevant documentation. The purpose of this advance preparation is to maximize readiness for future PRRA deadlines, which are often extremely limited once a PRRA package is issued. The Client acknowledges that substantial legal work may be performed years before any PRRA opportunity arises. Should the Client subsequently receive a PRRA notice or become eligible for PRRA, a separate PRRA Retainer Agreement shall be required for final preparation and submission of the PRRA application. The $1,500.00 preliminary PRRA allocation paid under this Agreement shall be credited toward the future legal fees under the PRRA Retainer Agreement. The Client acknowledges that a PRRA opportunity may never arise. The Client further acknowledges that if PRRA eligibility is later restored or established through legislative amendments, government policy changes, ministerial directives, court decisions, lawsuits brought by other individuals, administrative changes, or any circumstances unrelated to the specific work undertaken by the Firm, all fees paid under this Agreement remain fully earned and non-refundable. Responsibility for Information and Documentation The Client acknowledges that the Firm relies entirely upon the accuracy, completeness, and truthfulness of the information and documentation provided by the Client. The Firm does not independently verify the authenticity, accuracy, or completeness of documents, translations, statements, affidavits, records, or supporting materials unless specifically agreed in writing. The Client is solely responsible for ensuring that all information and documentation provided to the Firm is truthful, accurate, and complete. The provision of false, altered, forged, misleading, incomplete, or fraudulent information may result in immediate termination of legal services and may adversely affect the Client’s immigration matters. Excluded Services This retainer covers routine services only. Excluded services include: refugee hearings; Federal Court litigation; judicial review applications; stays of removal; mandamus applications; detention reviews; admissibility proceedings; exclusion proceedings; Ministerial interventions; PRRA final submissions; appeals; reconsideration requests; enforcement matters; removal interventions; expert evidence; expert reports; psychological assessments; medical assessments; translators; interpreters; notarization; commissioner services; courier expenses; government filing fees; travel expenses; and any immigration matter not expressly listed in this Agreement. Any additional or non-routine services may be billed at $500.00 per hour plus taxes and disbursements. Future Work and Updates The quoted fee is based upon the Firm performing the agreed work at the present time and proceeding with the matter in the ordinary course. If the Firm performs substantial work now for use at a future date, including future H&C updates, preliminary PRRA preparation, country condition review, legal research, evidence organization, affidavit review, or supporting documentation preparation, the quoted fee compensates the Firm for that work regardless of when future eligibility or future opportunities arise. Any future review, updating, amendment, re-drafting, supplementation, reassessment, refiling, updating of evidence, updating of submissions, updating of forms, updating of country condition materials, confirmation of instructions, or review of changed circumstances after completion of the original work shall constitute a new legal service. Any substantive future work exceeding one (1) hour shall be billed at $500.00 per hour plus taxes and disbursements. The Client further acknowledges that if updates are requested after submission of any application, including additional forms, supporting documents, explanations, responses, submissions, corrections, changes in marital status, changes in family composition, employment changes, travel history changes, contact information updates, or any other amendment, additional fees shall apply. File Dormancy and Reactivation If the Client fails to provide requested information, documents, signatures, or instructions for more than ninety (90) consecutive days, the Firm may place the file into inactive status. Reactivation may require payment of a file reactivation fee, and any further work required because of legislative changes, policy changes, expired forms, updated evidence, changed country conditions, or changes in the Client’s circumstances shall be billed separately. Professional Fees and Flat-Fee Retainers Legal fees are charged for professional services rendered and not for any particular result. Fees are earned as services are performed. A substantial portion of the work under this package occurs before filing and may include legal analysis, humanitarian assessment, strategic planning, refugee claim preparation, evidence review, drafting submissions, organizing supporting documentation, and preliminary PRRA preparation. Upon submission of the refugee claim and H&C application, most or all of the agreed fee will ordinarily be considered earned, subject to applicable Law Society rules. Fees are not contingent upon approval, processing times, eligibility determinations, issuance of a PRRA package, PRRA eligibility, legislative changes, policy changes, or any governmental decision. Identity Verification Requirement Before the Firm can review, open, process, or act upon the Client's matter, the Client must successfully complete identity verification through the Firm's designated verification platform and provide two valid government-issued identification documents. Failure to complete identity verification may delay or prevent the Firm from acting. Governing Law and Professional Regulation This Agreement is governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the applicable federal laws of Canada. Where legal services are provided to clients residing in Ontario, or where a lawyer regulated by the Law Society of Ontario has carriage of the file, this Agreement shall additionally be governed by the applicable Rules of Professional Conduct of the Law Society of Ontario. Independent Legal Advice The Client acknowledges that they have been encouraged to carefully review this Agreement and have had the opportunity to obtain independent legal advice before signing. No Tax Advice Disclaimer The Firm does not provide tax advice and the Client is responsible for obtaining independent advice from qualified tax professionals regarding any tax consequences arising from immigration status, refugee protection, employment, benefits, assets, or any other tax-related matter. No Guarantee of Outcome The Firm makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee regarding: refugee eligibility; referral to the Refugee Protection Division; H&C approval; issuance of a PRRA package; PRRA eligibility; processing times; judicial developments; legislative amendments; or any other immigration outcome. Government authorities exercise independent discretion and all outcomes remain uncertain. Payment Terms and Acknowledgment If the agreed fee is not fully paid, or if the agreed payment arrangement is not established, within seven (7) days of signing this Agreement, this Agreement shall automatically become null and void without further notice, and the Firm shall have no obligation to provide legal services. The Client acknowledges that the payment plan is provided solely as a financing accommodation and does not alter the nature of the legal fees. The entire fee remains payable regardless of the outcome of any refugee claim, H&C application, PRRA opportunity, legislative amendment, policy change, restoration of eligibility, removal process, or government decision. Missed installment payments may result in suspension of work, cancellation of the payment arrangement, acceleration of the outstanding balance, and withdrawal of services where permitted by applicable professional rules. If the Client has not paid all installment payments in full when the Firm gives notice of the PRRA (including receipt of a PRRA notification package from CBSA), the Client must pay the entire remaining balance of the agreed fee before the Firm submits the PRRA package. The Firm is not required to submit the PRRA package until the remaining balance has been paid in full. By signing this Agreement, the Client confirms that they have read, understood, and agreed to all terms of this Retainer Agreement. *

UPDATED 4- Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) Scope of Services, Responsibilities of Lawyer and Client Pax Law Corporation (the “Firm”) is retained to advise and represent the Client in connection with a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (“PRRA”) application before Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (“IRCC”) and related communications with the Canada Border Services Agency (“CBSA”), where applicable. A PRRA application is intended to assess whether the Client would face a risk of persecution, danger of torture, risk to life, or risk of cruel and unusual treatment or punishment if removed from Canada based on evidence that arose after, or was not reasonably available at the time of, previous refugee proceedings. The Firm will provide legal services reasonably necessary to prepare, submit, and advance the Client's PRRA application within the scope of this Retainer Agreement. The Firm may review the Client’s immigration history and prior refugee proceedings, including previous refugee claim materials, Basis of Claim Forms, affidavits, supporting documentation, hearing records, written submissions, and immigration decisions where available. The Firm may assess developments since the refugee claim determination, including changes in country conditions, changes in the Client’s personal circumstances, political activities, religious activities, family circumstances, social profile, or other relevant developments that may support a PRRA application. The Firm may conduct consultations with the Client, obtain updated instructions, identify evidentiary requirements, review documents and supporting materials, organize evidence, evaluate credibility issues and evidentiary concerns arising from previous proceedings, prepare and complete PRRA forms and related documentation, draft affidavits, declarations, witness statements, supporting correspondence, legal submissions, and prepare and finalize the PRRA package for filing. The Firm may communicate with IRCC, CBSA, and other governmental authorities regarding the Client’s PRRA, respond to routine requests for information, provide updates regarding significant procedural developments, and advise the Client on procedural requirements and next steps. The Firm relies entirely upon the accuracy, completeness, and truthfulness of information and documentation provided by the Client. The Firm does not independently verify the authenticity, completeness, or accuracy of documents, translations, affidavits, witness statements, records, or supporting evidence unless specifically agreed in writing. The Client is solely responsible for ensuring that all information provided to the Firm is truthful, accurate, complete, and not misleading. The provision of false, altered, forged, misleading, incomplete, or fraudulent information may result in immediate termination of services and may adversely affect the Client’s immigration matters. The Client acknowledges that PRRA eligibility and timing are determined exclusively by law and government processes and are entirely outside the Firm’s control. CBSA alone determines when a person becomes eligible for PRRA and when a PRRA notification package may be issued. Depending upon the Client’s circumstances, a PRRA opportunity may arise shortly after commencement of services, many months later, several years later, or may never arise. The Client specifically authorizes the Firm to commence work immediately upon execution of this Retainer Agreement and receipt of instructions, regardless of whether a PRRA notification package has already been issued. The Client acknowledges that statutory deadlines following issuance of a PRRA package are often extremely short and may not allow sufficient time to gather evidence, obtain translations, prepare affidavits, secure expert opinions, review country conditions, and prepare persuasive submissions. Accordingly, the Client specifically retains the Firm to undertake advance preparation of the PRRA application before eligibility arises or before a PRRA package is issued. Such advance preparation may include review of immigration and refugee history, collection and organization of supporting documentation, preparation of affidavits and draft submissions, review of country conditions, legal research, evidentiary planning, strategy development, and preparation of materials anticipated to be required once a PRRA opportunity arises. The Client acknowledges that substantial legal services may therefore be performed long before a PRRA notification package is issued and that such services constitute valuable legal work for which fees are earned as services are performed. Where the Client is presently ineligible for PRRA, including circumstances arising from Bill C-12 or any successor legislation, policies, regulations, or interpretations, the Client acknowledges that eligibility may later arise because of legislative amendments, policy changes, jurisprudential developments, successful litigation brought by the Client, successful litigation brought by other individuals, expiration of statutory bars, administrative changes, or changes in the Client’s immigration circumstances. Regardless of how eligibility arises, all fees paid under this Retainer Agreement remain consideration for legal services rendered and are not contingent on the timing of eligibility, issuance of a PRRA package, success of litigation, or the ultimate outcome of the PRRA application. No refund, credit, reduction, apportionment, or reimbursement shall be payable solely because eligibility is subsequently restored or established. This retainer covers routine PRRA services only. Unless expressly retained in a separate written agreement, this Retainer Agreement does not include: Applications for Leave and Judicial Review before the Federal Court; Stays of removal; Appeals or other court proceedings; Humanitarian and Compassionate Applications; Refugee Appeal Division proceedings; Detention reviews; Admissibility proceedings; Exclusion proceedings; Enforcement proceedings; Work permit applications; Study permit applications; Permanent residence applications; Sponsorship applications; Temporary Resident Permit applications; Responses to investigations or allegations of misrepresentation; Interpretation services; Translation services; Notarization, commissioning, authentication, or legalization of documents; Expert reports; Psychological assessments; Medical reports; Country experts; Government fees; Courier charges; Travel expenses; or Any immigration matter not specifically described in this Retainer Agreement. All disbursements, government fees, expert costs, translations, medical reports, and third-party expenses are extra unless specifically stated otherwise in writing. The Client understands that if updates are requested after work has begun, including updated country-condition evidence, supplemental submissions, additional affidavits, revised legal arguments, responses to new developments, changes in marital status, family composition, employment history, travel history, contact information, immigration status, or other material changes, additional legal fees shall apply. The quoted fee is based upon the Firm performing the agreed work at the present time and proceeding with the matter in the ordinary course. Any future review, revision, updating, amendment, supplementation, reassessment, re-drafting, or additional substantive work requested after completion of the original work shall be billed separately. Any substantive additional work exceeding one (1) hour shall be billed at $500.00 per hour plus taxes and disbursements. Rush matters may be subject to an additional fee of thirty percent (30%). Complex or non-routine matters may be subject to an additional fee of thirty percent (30%). Exceptional tasks, procedural fairness responses, inadmissibility matters, removal interventions, extraordinary updates, post-submission amendments, or work outside the original scope may be billed at the Firm’s hourly rate of $500.00 per hour plus applicable taxes and disbursements. Identity verification is mandatory. Before the Firm can review, open, process, or act upon the Client's matter, the Client must successfully complete identity verification through the Firm’s designated verification platform and provide two valid government-issued identification documents. Failure to complete identity verification may delay or prevent the Firm from proceeding. Email shall be the primary method of communication. The Client must maintain an active and reliable email address and respond promptly to requests for information. Documents must be provided by email unless otherwise instructed. The Firm shall not be responsible for delays resulting from the Client’s failure to provide instructions, signatures, documents, explanations, or information in a timely manner. If the Client fails to provide requested information, documents, signatures, or instructions for more than ninety (90) consecutive days, the Firm may place the file into inactive status. Reactivation of the file may require payment of a reactivation fee and any additional work necessary due to legislative changes, policy changes, updated forms, updated evidence, changed country conditions, or changes in the Client’s circumstances shall be billed separately. The Firm may withdraw from representation where permitted by applicable law society rules, including non-payment of fees, loss of confidence, communication breakdowns, unreasonable instructions, conflicts of interest, unethical conduct, unlawful conduct, or the provision of false information. The Client may terminate the retainer at any time but remains responsible for all fees, taxes, disbursements, and work performed to the date of termination. The Client acknowledges that if the Client leaves Canada voluntarily, is removed from Canada, becomes subject to removal, abandons the matter, loses contact with the Firm, or otherwise becomes unwilling or unable to proceed, fees earned for services already performed remain due and payable and are non-refundable. Professional Fees and Flat-Fee Retainers The Client acknowledges that legal fees are charged for professional services rendered and not for any particular outcome. Fees are earned as services are performed. A substantial portion of the work involved in a PRRA matter occurs before filing and may include legal analysis, review of refugee history, assessment of country conditions, evidence review, legal research, strategy development, preparation of affidavits, drafting of submissions, document review, and preparation of the filing package. Upon submission of the PRRA application, most or all of the agreed fee will ordinarily be considered earned, subject to applicable Law Society rules. Fees are not contingent upon approval, processing times, eligibility determinations, issuance of a PRRA package, legislative changes, policy changes, removal deferrals, or any governmental decision. Governing Law and Professional Regulation This Agreement is governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the applicable federal laws of Canada. Where legal services are provided to clients residing in Ontario, or where a lawyer regulated by the Law Society of Ontario has carriage of the file, this Agreement shall additionally be subject to the applicable Rules of Professional Conduct of the Law Society of Ontario. References to professional obligations, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, withdrawal, trust accounting, client identification, and standards of professional conduct shall be interpreted in accordance with the rules governing the lawyer primarily responsible for the file. Independent Legal Advice The Client acknowledges that they have been encouraged to review this Retainer Agreement carefully and have had the opportunity to seek independent legal advice before signing. By signing this Agreement, the Client confirms that they understand its terms and enter into it voluntarily. No Tax Advice Disclaimer The Firm does not practice tax law and does not provide tax advice. The Client is responsible for obtaining independent advice from qualified tax professionals concerning any tax consequences arising from immigration status, removal proceedings, refugee protection, employment, assets, benefits, or other tax-related matters. No Guarantee of Outcome The Firm makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee regarding eligibility for PRRA, issuance of a PRRA package, acceptance of evidence, processing times, approval of the application, removal deferrals, future legislative changes, policy developments, or any other immigration outcome. Government authorities exercise independent statutory discretion and all outcomes remain uncertain. Payment Terms and Acknowledgment If the agreed fee is not fully paid, or if the agreed payment arrangement is not established, within seven (7) days of signing this Retainer Agreement, this Agreement shall automatically become null and void without further notice and the Firm shall have no obligation to provide legal services.

The Firm will provide routine written correspondence with IRCC, respond to standard document requests, conduct reasonable follow-up regarding application processing, and provide general guidance concerning procedural requirements and expected steps in the permanent residence process. The Client acknowledges that the Firm relies entirely upon the information and documentation supplied by the Client and does not independently verify the authenticity, completeness, or accuracy of information, documents, translations, declarations, affidavits, or supporting evidence unless specifically agreed in writing.

The Firm shall not be responsible for the consequences of legislative, policy, procedural, or administrative changes occurring before or after submission of the application.

The Firm will review and organize supporting documentation, assess potential residency obligation concerns, review travel history evidence, review explanation letters and supporting materials, prepare and complete all required application forms, prepare routine supporting submissions where appropriate, coordinate submission of the application to the appropriate Canadian visa office abroad where authorized and able to do so, and provide routine correspondence with IRCC and related immigration authorities concerning the application.

The Client is solely responsible for ensuring that all information and documentation provided to the Firm is truthful, complete, accurate, and not misleading. The provision of false, altered, forged, misleading, incomplete, or fraudulent information may result in immediate termination of legal services and may adversely affect the Client’s permanent resident status and future immigration matters. The Client acknowledges that eligibility for a Permanent Resident Travel Document is governed by the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, associated regulations, Ministerial Instructions, government policies, operational manuals, processing procedures, and future legislative amendments. Changes in legislation, policies, regulations, administrative practices, eligibility requirements, or government priorities may affect eligibility, processing, or outcomes. The Firm shall not be responsible for any consequences arising from legislative, regulatory, policy, procedural, or administrative changes occurring before or after submission of the application. The Firm has no control over government processing times, residency obligation assessments, admissibility determinations, background investigations, security screening, requests for additional documentation, interviews, procedural reviews, or decisions made by IRCC or Canadian visa offices. This retainer covers routine Permanent Resident Travel Document services only.

The quoted fee is based upon the Firm performing the agreed work at the present time and proceeding with the matter in the ordinary course.

The Firm will provide legal services relating to the preparation and submission of a Ministerial Relief application based upon the information and documentation provided by the Client. Ministerial Relief is a discretionary remedy that may be available to persons found inadmissible to Canada on security-related grounds under section 34 of IRPA. Such applications often involve allegations relating to membership, association, compulsory military service, government service, organizational affiliations, or activities that have resulted in inadmissibility concerns.

The Firm will review the Client’s immigration history, inadmissibility findings, CBSA and IRCC disclosure materials, previous immigration applications, admissibility decisions, security-related allegations, military records, employment history, personal history, supporting documentation, and other relevant information necessary to assess apparent eligibility for Ministerial Relief. The Firm will assess available legal and factual grounds supporting the request for Ministerial Relief, including factors relating to compulsory military service, lack of voluntary participation, absence of security concerns, lack of threat to Canada, humanitarian factors, establishment in Canada, rehabilitation evidence where applicable, and any other considerations relevant to the exercise of ministerial discretion. The Firm will prepare and submit comprehensive Ministerial Relief submissions, assemble supporting evidence, prepare affidavits and statutory declarations where appropriate, communicate with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (“IRCC”), the Canada Border Services Agency (“CBSA”), and the Office of the Minister of Public Safety where appropriate, respond to routine procedural fairness requests, and provide strategic advice regarding the application.

The Client acknowledges that Ministerial Relief applications are governed by the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, associated regulations, Ministerial policies, operational guidelines, administrative practices, applicable jurisprudence, and future legislative amendments. Changes in legislation, regulations, policies, administrative practices, procedural requirements, admissibility frameworks, or government priorities may affect eligibility, processing, or outcomes. The Firm shall not be responsible for any consequences arising from legislative, regulatory, policy, procedural, or administrative changes occurring before or after submission of the application.
