Where can I get legal advice and help with my refugee claim?

Refugee law is complicated. There are many steps to making a refugee claim. Completing forms, gathering evidence, preparing for your hearing, and following all the different rules can be hard to do by yourself.

If you’re planning to make a refugee claim, or if you already made a refugee claim when you arrived in Canada, it’s important to get legal advice from someone who specializes in refugee law as soon as possible.  An “authorized representative” is paid to help you with your refugee claim. An authorized representative must be: an immigration consultant who is registered with the Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC) or a lawyer or paralegal who is licensed by the Law Society of Ontario, 

Sometimes friends or family members might try to help you. But it’s important to get help from someone who is:

• Trained and knows refugee law

• Authorized to give you the legal help you need

• Honest and trustworthy

At your hearing, you can choose to have someone represent you who is not a lawyer, paralegal, or immigration consultant but that person can’t charge you any fees.

When you make a refugee claim, don’t accept help from anyone who:

• Tells you to lie or withhold information suggests that you use false documents

• Asks you to sign a blank or incomplete Basis of Claim (BOC) form or any other form

• If some one doesn’t explain what they are doing, doesn’t answer your questions, or doesn’t provide you with copies of your documents and forms

• Tells you that they will get a positive result on your refugee claim or other application – no one is able to guarantee an outcome for your case

Regardless of whether you are inside or outside the borders of Canada, if you have a well-founded fear of persecution of returning to your home country, you may qualify for protection in Canada under the Refugee class.  Canada is known for its dedication to humanitarian efforts worldwide and if you are eligible under this class then you will be qualified to remain in Canada based on humanitarian and compassionate considerations.  Our Toronto immigration consultants can help you build a strong case for your refugee claims and get you a positive decision on your request so that you do not have to return to your home country where you will be persecuted against.
