TRUSTED PRE REMOVAL RISK ASSESSMENT LAWYERS

A Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) is a process used by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) or Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to determine whether you would face danger if sent back to your home country.

In many ways, a PRRA is similar to a refugee claim, as it assesses risks like persecution, torture, or harm. However, the Canadian government treats them quite differently in terms of procedure and review.

PRRA is typically available for people who were found ineligible to make a refugee claim or whose refugee claim has already been rejected. It serves as a final safeguard to ensure that Canada does not return someone to a place where they would face serious risks.

The PRRA process involves a paper-based review, where you can submit evidence to show why returning to your country would be dangerous for you. In some cases, a hearing may be granted, but this is not guaranteed.

If the PRRA determines that you would be at risk, you may be allowed to stay in Canada. If not, you may face removal.

Because the PRRA process involves detailed and complex legal submissions, it's critical to get it right.

I strongly recommend that you reach out to my office so we can discuss your PRRA options and work together to ensure the best possible outcome for your case.

Call today and speak with me directly to get started!

You will be eligible for a PRRA in the following circumstances:

1.      12 months have passed since the latest of your refugee claim, appeal to the refugee appeal division, judicial review of a refugee appeal decision.

2.      You came to Canada at a border and were issued a removal order before you had a chance to make refugee claim.

3.      You must be notified by a CBSA officer that are eligible for a PRRA. You cannot apply for PRRA on your own unless you are given permission by CBSA to do so.

The PRRA can be combined with other options to try and keep you in Canada on a permanent basis. But this requires multiple applications, each prepared with skill and tailored to your circumstances. It is highely advised that you call or email one of our lawyers for free to understand if you have a path to permanent status in Canada.

If you submit your PRRA application before the deadline, you'll be granted an administrative deferral, which means CBSA cannot remove you from Canada until a final decision is made on your PRRA. This deferral buys you valuable time, and depending on your situation, it might be a good idea to also submit a humanitarian application for Permanent Resident status.

If your PRRA is refused, you will need to appeal the decision and request a stay of removal from the Federal Court of Canada. This stay would allow you to remain in the country while the appeal is being processed. When combined, these steps can give you enough time to potentially receive a decision on your humanitarian application.

However, this process is complex, and any mistakes or weak submissions can harm your chances of success and limit your options moving forward. It’s essential that every part of the process is done carefully and correctly.

Don’t take risks with your future. Call or email our office today to speak with an experienced immigration lawyer who can guide you through each step and help you stay in Canada.

If your PRRA is refused, you will no longer be subject to an administrative deferral of your removal. This means that assuming you have a valid travel document, you can be removed from Canada and sent back to your home country.

You may first need to ask the CBSA for a temporary stay of your removal to allow you to remain in Canada on a temporary basis.

You can also appeal the refusal of your PRRA to the Federal Court of Canada.

You can proceed to the Federal Court of Canada and request a stay of your removal, to either challenge the refusal of CBSA to grant you a deferral or the PRRA refusal.

If the court grants you a stay, you can continue to stay in Canada until the appeal is completed. This will provide you time to proceed with a humanitarian application for Permanent Resident status, or, continue staying in Canada for a humanitarian application that was submitted at an earlier time.

The above is an extremely complicated legal process and requires attention from an immigration lawyer who has experience dealing with CBSA and appearing before the Federal Court of Canada.

Please contact our immigration law firm as we specialize in stopping removals from Canada. You can call or email for free and speak directly to a lawyer.

Many people who deal with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) are unrepresented and may not fully understand their rights. These individuals are often vulnerable and can be pressured by CBSA into making decisions that ultimately make it easier for the agency to remove them from Canada.

Our office has helped numerous individuals stop their removals, many of whom were told by CBSA during interviews that they "do not need a lawyer." This is simply not true. CBSA may say this to make their job easier, but having legal representation is crucial to protecting your rights and staying in Canada.

To strengthen your case and improve your chances of staying, it’s not just about submitting a PRRA. There are other important applications that need to be completed, and each one builds on the success of the previous one. While it can be more difficult to help someone who has already submitted a weak PRRA application, it’s not impossible.

Don't face CBSA alone. Contact us today to speak with one of our experienced lawyers.

Most PRRA applications are reviewed to determine whether returning to your home country would expose you to serious personal risks. Here's a breakdown of what immigration officers look for:

(A) Personal Risk of Harm:

1. Danger of torture in your home country.

2. Risk to lifeor a risk of cruel and unusual treatment or punishment if:

- You cannot or do not want to seek protection in your country due to the risk.

- The risk exists throughout your entire country, not just in one area.

- The risk is not due to legitimate penalties, unless those penalties violate international standards.

- The risk is not caused by your country's inability to provide adequate health or medical care.

(B) Fear of Persecution:

They also assess whether you have a well-founded fear of persecution in your home country based on your:

- Race

- Religion

- Nationality

- Political opinion

- Membership in a particular social group (e.g., gender, sexual orientation, etc.)

If you fear persecution for these reasons, and you cannot or will not return to your home country because of this fear, this may also be considered in your PRRA application.

Special Cases:

In some situations, the assessment of your PRRA will be limited to personal risk (point A above). This happens if you:

- Were convicted in Canada of a serious crime that could result in a sentence of 10 or more years and received a prison sentence of two or more years.

- Were found inadmissible due to security concerns, human or international rights violations, or involvement in organized crime.

- Made a refugee claim that was rejected based on certain exclusions under the Refugee Convention.

- Are named in a security certificate under Canadian law.

What Happens Next:

If this is your first PRRA application, your removal from Canada is paused while your application is processed. This means CBSA cannot enforce your removal, as long as you submit your application on time according to the instructions in your PRRA notice.

If this is not your first PRRA application, or you missed the deadline, or you're applying at a port of entry, your removal order may not be paused.

When preparing written submissions for your Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA), there are a few key things you’ll need to include:

1. A personal narrative explaining your situation and why you believe you're at risk.

2. Legal submissions that outline why your case meets the PRRA criteria.

3. Personal evidence that demonstrates your specific risk factors.

4. Country condition information that highlights the current situation in your country.

What is New Evidence?

New evidence is anything that became available after your previous application was rejected. This could be information that wasn’t accessible at the time or that you couldn’t reasonably have presented before. It's crucial to clearly identify and explain new evidence in your documents — for example, highlighting a specific section of a magazine article that supports your case.

What Kind of Documentary Evidence is Useful?

There are many types of evidence that can strengthen your PRRA application. Written documents that present facts related to your risks are especially helpful. These could include:

- Magazine or newspaper articles about your country’s situation

- Legal documents

- Police or medical records

- Personal documents

- Written testimonies from family, friends, or neighbors

If your submissions are weak or incomplete, it could negatively impact your ability to stay in Canada long-term. PRRA applications can be complicated, and it’s often difficult to succeed if you prepare them on your own. That’s why it’s strongly recommended to seek legal help from someone experienced in fighting removals.

If you're in Canada and worried about being removed, applying for a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) could give you options to stay longer — and even work legally in the country. Once you submit your PRRA application within the timelines set by CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency), you may become eligible to apply for an open work permit.

An open work permit lets you work for any employer in Canada without restrictions. This can be a great opportunity to support yourself while waiting for the outcome of your PRRA.

The Canadian immigration policy [R206(1)(b)] allows individuals who are under an unenforceable removal order to apply for an open work permit. Essentially, once you’ve submitted your PRRA, CBSA cannot remove you from Canada until a decision is made. This gives you some breathing room and the ability to work while your case is being processed.

Additionally, if your PRRA is refused, you may still be able to stay in Canada by either deferring your removal or appealing the refusal in Federal Court and requesting a stay of your removal. These steps can buy you more time and provide options to keep your life here on track.

If you're unsure about your eligibility or what steps to take, don't hesitate to contact us. Our experienced team is here to guide you through the process and help you understand your rights. Reach out today for expert advice on how to protect your stay in Canada!
