Pre-Removal Risk Assessment

Canada Pre-Removal Risk Assessment

A Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) is an assessment to ensure that foreign nationals who get a notification to remove from Canada do not face the risk of persecution, torture, or punishment when they return to the country. If the application of Canada Pre-Removal Risk Assessment is accepted, the foreign national will become a protected person and may be eligible to apply for permanent residency Canada.

PRRA Eligibility Criteria: Who Can Apply?

PRRA Eligibility Criteria: Who Can not Apply?

A Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officer decides whether an individual is eligible for Pre-Removal Risk Assessment after they begin the removal process from Canada. Also, they review each case and determine if the 12-month waiting period applies to you or not. The 12-month waiting period only applies to those if:
    You withdraw your refugee
  • claim or reject it by the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB).
  • You abandon or leave another PRRA application.
  • The Federal Court does not accept your request to review your refugee claim or PRRA decision.
If the 12-month waiting period applies to you, during this time, you would not be able to submit a PRRA application until the waiting period completes.
The person may not apply for a PRRA if:
  • Made a refugee claim found to be ineligible for referral to the IRB because you visited Canada from a safe third country;
  • Were discovered to be a Convention refugee in another country, to which you may return;
  • Are you a protected individual; or
  • Are subject to the expatriation

Criteria for Applying

If an individual deports from Canada, Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) calls to come into their offices for a pre-removal interview, at which the eligible person is provided with a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment application to complete. The person will have to apply within 15 days. After PPRA submission, an individual will have additional 15 days to submit written applications with supporting legal documents to a PRRA officer.
