The PRRA is an important safeguard to ensure that Canada does not return individuals to situations where they might face harm.The Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) is a process in Canada that evaluates the risk of returning a person to their home country. Almost every individual is given an Opportunity for PRRA before removal from Canada.
The Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) provides an opportunity to appeal a negative decision made by the Refugee Protection Division (RPD) on a refugee claim. This appeal process allows claimants to present new evidence or highlight errors in the original decision. The RAD reviews the case and can confirm, change, or overturn the RPD's decision. It ensures a fair and thorough examination of the claim, offering an additional layer of protection for those seeking asylum in Canada.
