Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA)
Facing removal, a PRRA can be your last chance to show the risk.
What a PRRA does
A Pre-Removal Risk Assessment lets people who are facing removal from Canada present evidence that they would be at risk if returned to their home country, such as a risk to life, a risk of persecution, or a danger of torture or cruel treatment. It is generally focused on new evidence that arose after any earlier refugee decision.
Timing and new evidence are critical
PRRA windows are short and the rules about which evidence can be considered are strict, so the submission has to be assembled quickly and precisely. Current country condition evidence and personalized proof of the risk you face are what officers look for.
How we help
We move quickly to gather new risk evidence and country condition documentation, prepare focused written submissions that meet the legal test, and coordinate with any related detention or Federal Court steps.
