What Is a PRRA?

A PRRA is a written application reviewed by a Canadian immigration officer to determine whether
you would face serious risks if returned to your country of origin. These risks may include:

• Risk of persecution
• Torture
• Risk to life
• Risk of cruel or unusual treatment or punishment

The decision is based on current conditions in your country and the evidence you provide.

Who Can Apply for PRRA?

You may be eligible to apply for a PRRA if you have received a removal order and Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has informed you in writing that you may do so. However, certain individuals are not eligible for PRRA immediately after their refugee claim is rejected, withdrawn, or deemed abandoned. In most cases, you must wait 12 months before applying unless your country’s conditions have changed significantly or you face new risks.
