A Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) gives certain individuals facing removal from Canada an opportunity to explain the risks they may face if returned to their country. Depending on the circumstances, the assessment considers risks such as persecution, torture, danger to life, or cruel and unusual treatment or punishment. Eligibility is determined by CBSA, and specific waiting periods and restrictions can apply.

Our immigration lawyers provide professional legal support for PRRA applications, including assessing eligibility, reviewing your immigration and refugee history, gathering supporting evidence, and preparing written submissions. Where required, we can also assist with preparation for a PRRA hearing. If you have previously had a refugee claim or PRRA application refused, special rules may limit the evidence that can be submitted, making careful preparation particularly important.
