Standing with you before the Board
The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) is the country's largest independent tribunal. Hearings are high-stakes and procedurally complex — having an authorized representative who prepares your case properly can make all the difference.
We provide representation across the IRB's divisions and related matters:
- Refugee Protection Division (RPD) — preparing and presenting refugee claims, including Basis of Claim (BOC) forms, country-condition evidence, and hearing representation.
- Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) — appealing a negative RPD decision with written submissions and new evidence where admissible.
- Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) — sponsorship appeals, residency-obligation appeals, and removal-order appeals.
- Immigration Division (ID) — admissibility hearings and detention reviews.
Detained by CBSA? Immigration detention moves fast — the first review happens within 48 hours. See our dedicated Immigration Detention page for urgent representation before the Immigration Division, release planning, and alternatives to detention.
How we prepare your case
- Assessment — we review your situation, identify the strongest grounds, and explain the process and timelines honestly.
- Evidence — we help gather identity documents, country-condition reports, medical and psychological evidence, and witness statements.
- Forms & submissions — we prepare your BOC, written arguments, and disclosure within the Board's deadlines.
- Hearing — we represent you at the hearing, prepare you for questioning, and make legal submissions on your behalf.
Why representation matters
Refugee and IRB matters carry serious consequences and tight deadlines. A well-prepared claim — with credible, well-organised evidence and clear legal argument — gives you the best chance of a fair outcome.
If you or a family member needs to make a claim or respond to an IRB proceeding, book a confidential consultation as early as possible. Time limits are strict.
