Triumphant Tale of a Client Overcoming PRRA Challenges in Canadian Immigration Law

Title: Overcoming PRRA Challenges in Canadian Immigration Law – A Triumphant Client Tale at LexLords

At LexLords Canada Immigration Lawyers, we are committed to provide impeccable service to our clients, supporting them throughout various immigration processes and legal challenges. One of our significant success stories involves assisting a client with pre-removal risk assessment (PRRA) difficulties in Canadian Immigration Law. We are pleased to share this victorious journey, elucidating how we worked diligently to help our client overcome rigorous hurdles.

PRRA is an opportunity given to the individuals who are facing deportation from Canada to claim that their removal would subject them to danger, torture, risk to life or a threat of cruel or unusual treatment or punishment. According to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), individuals can apply for PRRA before they are removed from Canada if they have not received an assessment in the past 12 months.

Our client approached us with a PRRA issue where his claim for PRRA was rejected by the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB). He sought our expertise to challenge this decision in Federal Court. Our first task was to conduct a thorough review of his case, which included understanding his circumstances and the grounds on which his PRRA was refused.

Building on the verdict of the landmark case of ‘Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration) v. Khosa’, we prepared our arguments stating that the immigration officer had not considered all the substantial evidence provided by the client. The Khosa case signifies that the Federal Court has the power to intervene if there is any error in immigration officer’s discretion.

Additionally, referencing another essential case law Rodriguez v. Canada, we argued that the decision-maker had not evaluated the risk factors objectively and individually, thus failing to follow the principle of procedural fairness.

The essence of the Rodriguez case is that each PRRA application must be assessed on its specific merits without preconceived notions. Therefore, we emphasized that the client’s unique circumstances needed to be re-evaluated authentically.

We successfully presented our case in Federal Court, highlighting all procedural discrepancies and emphasizing the potential risk our client would face if deported. After a comprehensive review of our submissions, the Court agreed with our arguments.

The Court concluded the decision maker did not appropriately assess the danger implications and ordered a redetermination of our client’s PRRA application. The court’s decision was a triumphant victory for our client and a testament to our dedication and expertise in Canadian Immigration Law.

Through this case, we reemphasized our commitment and proficiency in meticulously handling complex legal issues. We ensured that the rule of law was upheld, and justice was served, thus helping our client overcome the PRRA challenges effectively.

At LexLords, we continually strive to assist our clients in navigating through their immigration journey by providing them with comprehensive legal support grounded in an in-depth understanding of Canadian immigration laws.
