At Doorstep Immigration, we believe in the fundamental right to safety and security for all individuals, regardless of their country of origin. As Surrey, British Columbia’s leading immigration consultants, we are committed to providing compassionate and expert assistance to those seeking refuge in Canada. The Refugee Protection Division (RPD) of the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) is responsible for deciding whether someone is a Convention refugee or a person in need of protection. Our team is here to guide you through this critical process, offering the support and expertise you need during this challenging time.
The Refugee Protection Division (RPD) is one of four divisions within the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB). It is responsible for making decisions on refugee claims made within Canada. The RPD assesses claims to determine if the claimant meets the criteria of a Convention refugee or a person in need of protection.
Convention Refugee: A person who has a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion, and is unable or unwilling to return to their home country.
Person in Need of Protection: A person who would face a danger of torture, a risk to their life, or a risk of cruel and unusual treatment or punishment if they were to return to their home country.
Expertise in Refugee Law: Navigating Canada’s refugee protection system requires specialized knowledge of refugee law, human rights, and the complexities of the IRB’s procedures. At Doorstep Immigration, our team of experienced consultants and legal professionals is well-versed in refugee protection laws and has a proven track record of successfully representing clients in the RPD.
