What is the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD)?

The Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) in Canada is a specialized tribunal that handles appeals from individuals whose refugee claims have been rejected by the Refugee Protection Division (RPD) of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB). The RAD operates independently from the RPD and provides a mechanism for failed refugee claimants to seek a review of their cases.

The main functions of the RAD include:

RAD members review the evidence presented during the appeal hearings or written appeal and assess whether the original decision by the RPD was reasonable and supported by the evidence. They may consider new evidence or arguments that were not available at the time of the initial decision.

After reviewing the appeal, the RAD will issue a written decision either upholding the original rejection or overturning it, granting refugee status to the appellant. The decision is typically provided with reasons explaining the outcome.

The establishment of the RAD provides failed refugee claimants with a fair and impartial process to seek a review of their cases. It aims to ensure that individuals who face persecution or other forms of harm in their home countries have access to a thorough and objective assessment of their claims for protection in Canada.

It’s important to note that while the RAD provides an avenue for appeal, the process can be complex, and appellants are encouraged to seek legal representation to assist them throughout the appeal process. Mr. Bhangu will guide you throughout the entire process and explain all the options you may have.
