• • Refugee Appeal Division (RAD)
    • Claimants may be given the opportunity to prove to the Refugee Protection Division (RPD) that the decisions on their original claim was wrong in fact or law or both;
    • Claimants may introduce new evidence that was not available at the time of the initial RPD process;
    • Paper-based appeal, oral hearings may be necessary in exceptional cases.

• Immigration Appeal Division (IAD)
  • For appeals relating to residency, sponsorship or removal orders.
