đ Canada Refugee Process: Inland vs. Port-of-Entry Claims
â
 Inland Refugee Claims â Applying from Inside Canada
If you're already in Canada, you can initiate your refugee claim through the IRCC Portal.
Step-by-Step Inland Process:
Complete the Basis of Claim (BOC) form provided by the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB).
Passport or other valid ID.
Complete the Use of a Representative form if youâre working with a consultant or lawyer.
Create IRCC Portal Account:
Request an invitation code by emailing IRCC.
Register and include any family members present in Canada.
Submit Your Refugee Application:
Log in and select âCreate a new refugee claim.â
Upload all necessary documents and submit.
After You Apply:
If your application is complete, you will receive:
Acknowledgment letter from IRCC.
Medical instructions (IMM 1017E).
Biometrics and interview details.
If your claim is found eligible, it will be transferred to the IRB and youâll receive a Refugee Protection Claimant Document (RPCD)âcommonly called the brown paper.
â
 Port of Entry Claims â Applying at Airports, Borders, or Seaports
If you arrive at a Canadian entry point, inform the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officer that you wish to make a refugee claim.
Passport and any available travel documents.
Fingerprints and photographs (biometrics).
An eligibility interview to explain your situation and risk of returning to your home country.
If Eligible:
Your claim is referred to the IRB, and youâll receive:
A BOC form (must be submitted within 45 days via IRCC Portal).
Medical exam instructions.
Acknowledgment of Claim or RPCD.
Access to the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP).
đ Completing Your Refugee Application
Regardless of where you apply, these steps are essential:
Fill out and submit the BOC form within 45 days.
Register on the IRCC Portal using the invitation code (if applicable).
Upload supporting documents.
For port-of-entry applicants, select: âContinue a claim made to CBSA.â
đŒÂ Working and Studying While Awaiting Your Decision
Select âYesâ during your claim to include an open work permit application.
You become eligible once the IRB accepts your claim for review and you pass a medical exam.
Family members can also apply.
If you missed the work permit initially, you can apply later using your RPCD and medical exam results.
Once approved, apply for your Social Insurance Number (SIN).
Children under 18 donât need a permit for primary or secondary school.
Adults must apply for a separate study permit, requiring:
A Letter of Acceptance from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI).
âïžÂ After the IRB Hearing: What Happens Next?
If your refugee claim is approved, youâll be granted ConventionRefugee or Protected Person status. From there, you may apply for permanent residence in Canada.
If your claim is denied, you may still have options:
Appeal to the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) of the IRB (if eligible).
If not eligible for RAD, seek a judicial review with the Federal Court of Canada.
đ It is highly recommended to consult a certified RCIC IRB consultant to review your legal remedies and represent your case effectively.
