In order to file an appeal to the Refugee Appeal Division, you must be found eligible!

The Refugee Appeal Division (‘RAD’) gives most claimants a chance to prove that the Refugee Protection Division decision was wrong in fact or law or both. It also permits claimants to introduce new evidence that was not reasonably available at the time of the Refugee Protection Division process. The decision generally takes 90-120 days unless an oral hearing is required. However, in some situations, it may take longer too.  Failed claimants may ask the Federal court to review the RAD decision. Please note not every refugee claimant is allowed an appeal in Refugee Appeal Division. 

If you want to know if you are eligible to appeal to the Refugee Appeal Division or want to file an appeal to the Refugee Appeal Division or have already filed an appeal to the Refugee Appeal division and would like assistance, we encourage you to contact RST Law Professional Corporation.
