Licensed Canadian immigration guidance
A PRRA assesses whether a person facing removal from Canada would face a risk of persecution, torture, or cruel and unusual treatment if returned to their country of origin. It is generally available only once other avenues — such as a refused refugee claim — have been exhausted.
A decade of files, decisions and outcomes across every major Canadian pathway.

Key figures at a glance
Source sequence preservedTechnical reference Eligibility and pathway detail | |
|---|---|
| Aspect | Detail |
| Who can apply | Most people subject to an enforceable removal order, with some statutory exceptions |
| What's assessed | New risk evidence not previously considered in an earlier refugee claim or PRRA |
| Timing restrictions | Generally not available again within a set period after a previous negative PRRA or refugee decision |
| Outcome | A positive PRRA can result in protected person status; a negative one does not, by itself, halt removal |
Generally, no — a PRRA is meant to assess new risk developments since the last decision, not re-litigate evidence already considered.
In most cases, a pending PRRA application does provide a stay of removal until a decision is made, though specific timing rules apply.
