RPD Refugee Hearings
The Refugee Protection Division determines whether claimants qualify as Convention refugees under s.96 of IRPA (well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group) or persons in need of protection under s.97 (risk to life, cruel or unusual treatment, or torture).
