Referral of the file to the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) for processing of the refugee claim.
Determining a hearing date and scheduling a session to examine the refugee claim.
Reviewing the refugee claim by the IRB and conducting a hearing session.
Announcement of the decision on the refugee claim:
- If the refugee claim is approved, the claimant’s status will change to “person in need of protection” or a “Convention refugee,” after which they can apply for permanent residency (PR) for themselves and their family members.
