Protecting You from Unjust Removal

Before Canada removes a foreign national, they may be entitled to a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA)—a final opportunity to demonstrate that they face danger if returned to their country of origin. If successful, a PRRA may stop your removal and result in protected person status.

At Sunder Law, we support individuals at critical moments in their immigration journey, helping them prepare comprehensive, timely, and compelling PRRA applications to present to the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA)?

It’s a process that evaluates the risk you would face if removed from Canada. If accepted, the removal may be stopped, and you may be granted protected person status.

2. Am I eligible for a PRRA?

You may be declared inadmissible for five years, lose permanent residency status, face application refusals, or be issued a removal order.

3. Can I submit new evidence in a PRRA?

Yes. If you believe the decision was unfair, inaccurate, or based on miscommunication, Sunder Law can help challenge it through a response, appeal, or Federal Court review.

4. Does filing a PRRA automatically stop my removal?

In most cases, yes—but not always. It’s crucial to consult a lawyer to determine if your removal is suspended during the assessment process.

5. How long does a PRRA take to process?

Timelines vary, but the process can be fast if the removal is imminent. We prioritize urgent submissions to meet all CBSA-imposed deadlines.

6. Can I include medical or humanitarian factors in a PRRA?

Yes. While PRRA focuses on risks in the home country, humanitarian considerations and health risks may also be relevant depending on the facts of your case.

7. What happens if my PRRA is denied?

If refused, your removal may proceed unless you qualify for a Judicial Review at the Federal Court. Sunder Law can evaluate your next steps.
