Who is not eligible to apply for PRRA?
You are not eligible for PRRA if: • you are going through an extradition process, • you have been found by Canada to be a Convention refugee or a person in need of protection, • you have been recognized as a Convention refugee in a country you can return to, • you have already made a refugee claim in Canada and have returned to Canada less than six months after that claim was found not eligible, refused, withdrawn, or abandoned, or • you are not eligible to have your refugee claim heard by the IRB because you made your claim at a Canada-United States border crossing. However, there are exceptions to this “safe third country” rule.
