Refugee Appeals (RAD)
Appeals of negative RPD decisions to the Refugee Appeal Division.
If the RPD rejects your claim, you may be able to appeal to the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD). Deadlines are short: the notice of appeal is generally due within 15 days of receiving the written reasons, and the appeal record within 30 days.
Deadlines at the IRB are strict and missing one can end your case. Contact us as soon as you receive a decision or notice. Consultations are confidential.
Who it’s for
- Claimants with a negative RPD decision
- Claimants with new evidence that was not reasonably available before
- Ministers’ appeals in which you are the respondent
How we help
- Fast review of the RPD reasons for errors
- Notice of appeal and appeal record within the deadlines
- New-evidence and oral-hearing requests where justified
- Written legal arguments (memorandum)
