Cassandra Hyler
5/5
My lawyer at Sutton Law was a complete godsend throughout the entire process of my LTB difficulties. He was able to collaborate with the other teams representation while ensuring my best interests were always top priority. He walked me through the entire process and was always available to answer questions and help me through the problem. He even went to court to represent me that day so I wouldn’t miss work and stayed there until he heard direct from the judges mouth that my name was cleared.

FAQ

A PRRA is a process by which someone facing removal from Canada can raise any risks upon return (including persecution, torture or threats to life) – it is your chance to ask for protection where returning to your home country could put you in danger.

Eligibility depends on various factors including prior immigration claims and country of origin – if you had a refugee claim determined against you, you may have to wait a year (or three years if from a designated country) unless there is a sudden change in country conditions. Forms such as IMM 5508 must be completed and submitted along with application deadlines specified in your PRRA notification.

Timelines vary but the filing of a PRRA application stays your removal order until a decision is made. Deadlines for filing of forms (usually 15 days) and supporting materials (30 days) are enforced strictly.

Yes, but eligibility may be limited by the waiting periods (1-3 years) unless there is an exemption due to a rapid deterioration in country conditions. Immediate action is required in the event you receive a removal order.

PRRA applications often involve highly specific points of law and deadlines, and the consequences of failure are often severe. A lawyer will guide you away from mistakes and omissions, ensure you comply with technical procedures, and help you present the strongest possible case (relevant evidence, tailored submissions).

  1. Fill out Form IMM 5508 on your own behalf and for any family member 18 or over included with you.
  2. Prepare supporting written submissions explaining the risks you face.
  3. Submit all documentation via regular mail or Canada Post's Connect service before specified time limits.

Lawyers assist you in sourcing vital evidence such as country condition documentation, corroborating medical records or affidavits, and in putting together submissions that address the legal requirements for risk (persecution, torture, etc.) clearly.

Many immigration law service providers are multilingual themselves or work with accredited translators to ensure all communications and documents are accurately presented.

A failed application results in recommencement of removal proceedings. Federal Court review may be available by judicial leave application but deadlines are tight.

Fees depend on the complexity of the matter. Many files are billed flexibly (with payment plans available if need be).

Some files may be covered by Ontario Legal Aid depending on eligibility. Community legal clinics may also provide affordable or free representation in certain cases.

You must list all family and dependents on your application, but any member of the family over 18 needs to file a separate Form.

  • Quality and detail of supporting evidence (eg. country documentation, personal statements).
  • Whether the risk fits a specific legal category (torture, persecution, etc.).
  • Timeliness of filing of all forms and materials as required.

Professional advice and support eliminates mistakes in documentation, helps ensure legal criteria are met, and can clarify your explanations of potential risk.

Contact your legal service provider by phone or through their website as soon as possible. In most cases, immediate appointments can be arranged if time limits are involved.

You will be updated regularly regarding case developments and any deadlines or steps requiring action. Questions can be addressed to your lawyer at any time by email, phone or video call.

Yes. The effect of a PRRA application is to stay a removal order until after a final ruling, meaning you are legally entitled to remain in the country.

Focus on linking your personal situation and history to the risks you face in your home country with supporting documentation such as police evidence, medical documentation or expert affidavits.

A failed PRRA application reactivates the removal order. A consultation with a lawyer is the best way to determine whether your case should be pursued due to the nature of the criteria considered for PRRA eligibility.

Your lawyer will be able to check status through IRCC channels. The IRCC office on your original notification can also be contacted for updates on all files.
