Canada Refugee Claims Lawyers

EACH APPLICATION IS DECIDED ON ITS OWN MERITS, NO GUARANTEE OF SUCCESS IS GIVEN.

Making a refugee claim is for people with a LEGITIMATE FEAR OF PERSECUTION. They may also fear torture or execution. A refugee claim is not a general immigration pathway to permanent residency. Grounds for making a refugee claim include race, religion, and political opinion. Nationality and being part of a social group also count. An example is women who do not wish to abide by mandatory hijab laws.

Once you make a claim, there will be the upcoming milestones. All-time estimates are just that, an estimate. The actual time can be significantly shorter or longer.

Stricter asylum eligibility rules

• One‑year in‑Canada cutoff: Anyone who entered Canada after June 24, 2020, must file a refugee claim within one year. If they wait more than one year, their case can’t be referred to the Immigration & Refugee Board (IRB). Instead, they’ll face a pre‑removal risk assessment. This process has much lower approval rates (~30% vs ~60% in full IRB hearings).

• 14‑day rule for U.S. arrivals: Those crossing into Canada from the U.S. at official ports of entry must file a refugee claim within 14 days. If they file after 14 days, they are barred from full IRB hearings.

Powers to pause, cancel, or suspend applications and documents

• Empowers the Governor-in-Council or ministers to pause acceptance of new immigration applications, cancel, suspend, or modify immigration documents or entire groups of applications in the public interest (e.g., for national security or public health reasons).
• Includes automatic authority to suspend ongoing processes, suspend inactive cases, and fast-track voluntary removals when claims are withdrawn.
