Refugee determination hearings take place before a
two Member panel. Hearings are conducted as informally as possible, and in
private unless an application for a public
hearing is received and granted. A Refugee Hearing Officer helps the
panel by ensuring that all relevant evidence is advanced at the hearing. In
some cases, claims can be determined by a single Member without a hearing. Claimants being
considered for this expedited process must first
attend a preliminary conference with a Refugee Hearing Officer.
If your
claim is accepted, you, your spouse and your dependent children can immediately
apply for permanent resident status in Canada. Applications for permanent
residence must be submitted to Citizenship and Immigration
Canada. |
