PRRA
PRRA legal help Canada – stop removal, protect your rights.
What is a PRRA?
When facing removal from Canada, individuals may feel like they have no further options. However, Canada's immigration system provides important safeguards for those at risk of harm through the Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) program. At Ayodele Law, we’re committed to helping you understand your rights and opportunities, even in urgent and difficult situations.
The Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) is a written application for individuals in Canada who are facing removal and believe they would be at risk if returned to their home country. This risk can include:
Torture
Risk to life
Risk of cruel and unusual treatment or punishment
It also considers risks under international conventions to which Canada is a party, such as the Convention Against Torture and the 1951 Refugee Convention.
Who Can Apply?
Not everyone is eligible to apply for a PRRA. Typically, a person may be eligible if:
They have been issued a removal order from Canada.
They are not barred due to certain timelines (e.g., recent refugee claim or PRRA decision).
They are not inadmissible on certain grounds such as serious criminality.
If you’ve previously made a refugee claim or a PRRA application, you may face a 12-month bar before you can apply again—unless there has been a significant change in country conditions.
What Does the PRRA Process Involve?
Receiving a PRRA Invitation: If you're eligible, you'll be given an opportunity to apply by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
Written Submission: There is no interview—your case is assessed based on the documents and written statements you submit.
Supporting Evidence: This may include country condition reports, expert testimony, and personal affidavits.
Decision: A positive PRRA decision can result in protected person status. A negative decision means removal can proceed.
Why Legal Representation Matters
A PRRA application is time-sensitive and legally complex. Submitting detailed, persuasive documentation is crucial. At Ayodele Law, we bring experience, empathy, and strategic insight to every PRRA case. We work closely with clients to present the strongest possible case and explore all available legal remedies, including stays of removal and judicial reviews where applicable.
