Political asylum hearing

During the hearing that took place on June 19, 2023, our client from Russia was granted political asylum in Canada. Considering the abundance of evidence regarding threats to her life, or, at the very least, arrest, and torture in the event of her forced return to the totalitarian regime, the Canadian Immigration and Refugee Board decided to conduct a short-hearing process applicable to less complex cases.

We encountered a highly professional IRB Member who judged her case, and our client demonstrated exemplary skills in answering all the questions, including complex assessments of contextual authenticity and behavioral aspects. The judge was well-prepared and informed about the situation in Russia, including most latest information on human rights violations.

We are proud of our client and now proceed with the federal application for residency status in Canada and facilitating the migration of her family from Russia to Canada.
