Options for asylum claimants whose claim has been rejected
If you are in Canada and your asylum claim has been rejected, there may still be options for you to legally stay in the country.
Find out if you can use any of these options to legally stay in Canada:
See if you can appeal your decision
If you received a negative decision on your asylum claim (legally known as a claim for refugee protection), you may be able to appeal to the Refugee Appeal Division at the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada.
Learn about the pre-removal risk assessment
If you are told you must leave Canada, you may be able to apply for a pre-removal risk assessment if the Canada Border Services Agency says you are eligible.
Learn about asking the Federal Court of Canada to review your case
Once you have exhausted any appeal rights you are entitled to, you can ask the Federal Court of Canada to review the decision made on your case.
Find out about applying on humanitarian and compassionate grounds
In some exceptional circumstances, some people are allowed to become permanent residents for humanitarian and compassionate reasons.
