A Pre-Removal Risk Assessment Application is also known as PRRA.

​

A foreign national can become a permanent resident of Canada on the grounds of PRRA. The PRRA may prevent deportation of the person whose life is in danger or who faces persecution, torture and/or punishment in their home country.

 

A PRRA is available to a claimant whose refugee claim has been denied and who has been ordered to leave Canada.

 

A PRRA has two steps:

• The applicant must file an application within 15 days after it received.

• After filing the PRRA, the applicant has 15 days to submit the written submissions and supporting documents.
