Take the First Step Towards a New Future with our Refugee Support Services

We understand that refugee claims often carry immense emotional and personal weight and involve high stakes that can impact your future. Our team is here to assist you in making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

How We Support You Throughout the Refugee Determination Process

Our lawyers have years of experience preparing refugee claims and representing asylum seekers before the RPD. Trust us to handle your case with care and precision.

Filing a refugee claim

Refugee claimants must first fill out a Basis of Claim form with the reasons why they are claiming protection. Our staff will work with you to prepare all the forms, documents, and details that should be included in your claim submitted to the Refugee Protection Division (RPD).

Refugee Hearing

After your claim is received, your claim may be referred to a hearing before the RPD or accepted without a hearing. If your claim is referred to the RPD for a hearing, our lawyers will guide you through the preparation of your narrative, assist in gathering evidence, and represent you at the hearing to present your case.

Post-Hearing Support and Appeals

If your claim is denied, our team is happy to discuss your options for appeal or judicial review of the decision.

For more information on the available options after a negative decision, see Services: Immigration Appeals.

TESTIMONIALS

I would definitely recommend Mr. Clivio if you are in need of a representative for your refugee claim. He had in-depth knowledge of the process and was aware of the background of our claim and the persecutions within our home country to a surprising extent.
