Challenging an “Application to Cease Refugee Protection”

When our clients first contacted our office, we knew it was going to be a challenging case. Our clients had received an Application to Cease Refugee Protection due to re-availment (i.e. returning to their country of persecution) and needed assistance for their hearing before the Refugee Protection Division. The clients had been in Canada for a number of years and had established themselves. Through extensive case law research and preparation, we developed our legal arguments and strategy.

We are thankful that the Member agreed with our position and dismissed the Application, which allowed our clients to retain their status as Permanent Residents in Canada. We are thrilled with the result and wish them all the best as they continue to build their future in Canada.
