Refugee & Humanitarian Programs

Refugee & Humanitarian Programs

Canada has a long-standing commitment to protecting individuals facing persecution, war, or humanitarian crises. At Time to Fly Immigration, we provide comprehensive assistance to individuals seeking asylum, appealing refugee claims, or applying for humanitarian relief. Our team ensures that every case is handled with compassion, attention to detail, and a strong legal foundation to maximize your chances of success.

Refugee Claims and Admissibility Hearings

Filing a refugee claim in Canada is a complex legal process that requires strong supporting evidence and adherence to strict timelines. Our team assists claimants in preparing thorough applications, gathering relevant documentation, and representing them before the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB). If there are concerns regarding admissibility, we provide legal guidance to address potential obstacles and ensure that your case is heard fairly.

Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) Appeals

If your refugee claim has been refused by the Refugee Protection Division (RPD), you may have the right to appeal the decision at the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD). Our immigration professionals can assess the reasons for refusal, prepare strong appeal submissions, and present new evidence where applicable. We work diligently to strengthen your case and improve your chances of obtaining protected person status in Canada.

Refugee Travel Document Applications

Refugees and protected persons in Canada often require a Refugee Travel Document to travel internationally, as they cannot use their home country’s passport. We assist in preparing and submitting applications for travel documents, ensuring compliance with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) regulations. We also provide guidance on travel restrictions and best practices to avoid complications at border crossings.

Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) Applications

Individuals who do not meet the standard immigration criteria but have compelling reasons to remain in Canada may be eligible for Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) applications. These cases are assessed based on factors such as hardship, establishment in Canada, best interests of children, and medical or safety concerns. Our team carefully prepares detailed submissions, highlighting exceptional circumstances that warrant special consideration for permanent residency.

At Time to Fly Immigration, we understand that refugee and humanitarian cases require not just legal expertise, but also empathy and sensitivity. Our dedicated professionals are committed to advocating for your rights and helping you navigate the immigration process with confidence.

Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA)

A Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) is a critical legal remedy available to individuals facing deportation from Canada. It provides a final opportunity to demonstrate that returning to their country of origin would pose a serious threat to their life, safety, or freedom. This includes risks such as torture, persecution based on race, religion, political opinion, gender, sexual orientation, or exposure to inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
PRRA applications are highly time-sensitive and require compelling new evidence or updated country conditions that were not available at the time of any previous immigration or refugee proceedings. Only those who are eligible under specific IRCC guidelines and are not barred due to previous claims or criminality can apply.
At Time to Fly Immigration, we act swiftly and strategically to prepare your PRRA submission. We assist you in:

• Collecting updated reports from credible international sources (such as UNHCR, Amnesty International, or Human Rights Watch).
• Drafting a personal statement explaining your fear and the specific risks you face upon return.
• Ensuring your application meets all IRCC deadlines and procedural requirements.
• Collaborating with legal counsel (if needed) for filing a judicial review or stay of removal alongside the PRRA.

We understand that the PRRA process is often a last lifeline for individuals and families. Our compassionate and experienced team works diligently to ensure your story is heard, supported, and submitted with the urgency and professionalism it deserves.

Permanent Residency for Refugees (Protected Persons)

Individuals who have been granted protected person status or recognized as convention refugees in Canada have the legal right to apply for Permanent Residence (PR). This is a major step toward building a stable life in Canada, giving you access to critical benefits such as:

• Public healthcare and social programs.
• The right to live, work, or study anywhere in Canada.
• The ability to apply for Canadian citizenship after meeting residency obligations.
• Protection under Canadian law and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The PR process for refugees requires submitting a full application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). This includes:

• Providing detailed personal history and updated background checks.
• Completing a medical examination for admissibility .
• Listing and supporting dependents for inclusion in the PR file .
• Ensuring no serious criminality or misrepresentation that may impact eligibility.

At Time to Fly Immigration, we guide you through every step of the process. We assist in preparing error-free applications, submitting the right supporting documents, and ensuring you maintain your legal status throughout.
