What is an inland refugee claim in Canada?
An inland refugee claim is made by individuals who are already physically present in Canada and are seeking protection because they fear persecution, torture, or cruel and unusual treatment in their home country. This claim is submitted to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
Who can make an inland refugee claim?
You can make an inland refugee claim if you:
- Are already in Canada,
- Are not under a removal order,
- Genuinely fear persecution due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a social group (e.g., LGBTQ+, ethnic minorities),
- Are not inadmissible due to serious criminality.
Where can I file an inland refugee claim?
You can submit your inland refugee claim:
- Online through the IRCC Portal, or
- In person at a CBSA office or IRCC office (by appointment).
CITRN helps you prepare, submit, and track your claim for faster, smoother processing.
What documents do I need to support my refugee claim?
Key documents include:
- Personal Identification (passport, national ID),
- Proof of your fear of persecution (e.g., police reports, medical records, threatening messages),
- Narrative of your claim,
- Supporting letters or affidavits.
At CITRN, we ensure your file is complete and persuasive.
Can I work while waiting for my refugee hearing?
Yes. Once your refugee claim is deemed eligible, you can apply for an open work permit. CITRN helps you with both the refugee claim and your work permit application so you can support yourself legally while you wait.
What happens after I submit my claim?
Once submitted:
- IRCC or CBSA reviews your eligibility,
- If accepted, your case is sent to the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB),
- You’ll receive a hearing date to present your story,
- A final decision is then made on your refugee status.
What are the chances of approval for an inland claim?
Approval depends on the credibility of your claim, supporting evidence, and how well your case is presented. Working with experienced immigration professionals like CITRN can significantly increase your chances of success.
Can I include my family in the claim?
Yes, you can include your spouse and dependent children in your inland refugee claim if they are also in Canada. If they’re outside Canada, other options like family reunification may be available after your claim is approved.
What if my claim is rejected?
If your claim is denied, you may:
- Appeal to the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD),
- Seek judicial review in Federal Court,
