WHO CAN APPLY FOR PRRA ? PRRA ELIGIBILITY
With some exceptions, these categories of applicants usually are notified by the CBSA of their entitlement to apply for PRRA:
  • Individuals whose refugee claim has been rejected by the IRB (includes withdrawn or abandoned claims), and more than 12 months have passed.
  • Individuals whose refugee claim is ineligible for referral to the Immigration and Refugee Board (except those who are ineligible vis-à-vis the Safe Third Country Agreement)
  • Previous PRRA applicants who are still in Canada, and more than 12 months have passed.
  • Other individuals who never previously claimed refugee status or protection in Canada and are now facing removal.
Note: A person is not entitled, to apply for a PRRA if their claim for refugee protection was determined to be ineligible because they came to Canada directly or indirectly from a safe third country (To date, only the USA has been designated)
PRRA APPLICATION
A CBSA officer decides your eligibility and notify you of your entitlement to apply for the Pre-Removal Risk Assessment PRRP.
If you are entitled to apply for the PRRA, the CSBA officer will give you the PRRA application form and the PRRA guide.
SUBSEQUENT PRRA APPLICATION
If you are a subject to a removal order that is in force and your previous PRRA application has been refused, abandoned, or withdrawn, you may apply for a subsequent PRRA if the 12-month bar on PRRA applications have passed.
  • Subsequent PRRA applicants do not benefit from a regulatory stay of removal.
  • Unless the officer is satisfied that it would be in the interests of justice to revisit an issue dealt with in a previous PRRA, Subsequent PRRA are assessed only in terms of risk factors that have arisen since the last PRRA application.
WHEN TO SUBMIT PRE-REMOVAL RISK ASSESSMEN
