If you’re in danger, you may qualify for a PRRA
Canada aims to ensure that people being removed from Canada are not sent to a country where they would be in danger or at risk of persecution. One mechanism frequently utilized to achieve this aim is a pre-removal risk assessment (PRRA). A foreign national facing removal from Canada may be eligible for a PRRA.
Eligibility
An immigration officer determines the eligibility of an individual to apply for a PRRA.
Persons Who Are Ineligible
(a) If you made a refugee claim that was determined to be ineligible for referral to the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) because you came to Canada from a Safe Third Country, you would not be entitled to a PRRA
(b) If you were found to be a Convention Refugee in another country, to which you may return, you will also not be eligible for a PRRA
(c) If you are subject to an extradition request, you may not be eligible for a PRRA
One-Year Ban for Certain Individuals
Subject to the exemptions discussed below, if you made a refugee claim or previously applied for a PRRA and your application was rejected, abandoned, or withdrawn, you may not apply for a PRRA unless at least 12 months have elapsed.
Countries Exempt from the One-Year Ban
If there is a sudden change in country conditions, certain nationals may not have to wait for the 12 months to pass before applying for a PRRA.
