The Problem
Canada’s refugee protection system is life-saving, but refugee claimants arriving in Canada struggle to comprehend and navigate the refugee protection process. Their quest for refugee protection is mitigated by complex systems. Sometimes the most vulnerable refugee claimants don’t get the refugee protection they desperately need.
Strategic Action
Design, create, and implement a comprehensive, multi-lingual public legal education and information resource with and for refugee claimants in Canada. Include web and print materials.
Project Goal
Refugee claimants are informed, connected, and prepared for their refugee hearings.
