Canada’s refugee protection system is one of the most compassionate in the world — but it is also one of the most complex. Refugee claims require clear evidence, detailed forms, and strong representation at hearings before the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB).
At Provenance Law, we support individuals fleeing persecution, violence, discrimination, war, or other life-threatening conditions in their home countries. We handle every step of the refugee process with care, confidentiality, cultural understanding, and legal precision.
Whether you are making a claim at the border, inside Canada, or appealing a refused claim, our team is here to protect your rights and help you pursue safety.
“Every person deserves the chance to live in safety. We help ensure your voice is heard.” - Provenance Advocates LLP
We guide clients through the entire refugee claim process, including:
Preparing & filing your Basis of Claim (BOC)
Gathering evidence and supporting documents
Country conditions research
Preparing detailed personal narratives
Representation at hearings before the Refugee Protection Division
We ensure your story is presented clearly, truthfully, and in a way that aligns with IRB expectations.
This is one of the most important parts of the refugee process.
We assist with:
Completing the BOC accurately
Ensuring timelines are met
Organizing supporting evidence
Preparing clear and consistent explanations
A weak or incomplete BOC form is one of the top reasons refugee claims fail — we don’t let that happen.
We represent clients before:
Refugee Protection Division (RPD) hearings
Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) appeals
Judicial review at the Federal Court
Reopening requests
If your claim was refused, there may still be strong legal avenues available.
We help individuals facing removal demonstrate:
Risk to life
Risk of persecution
Risk of torture or cruel treatment
PRRA applications require strong evidence and persuasive legal reasoning.
For individuals who may not qualify as refugees but still face severe hardship, we prepare H&C applications focused on:
Establishment in Canada
Hardship if removed
Best interests of children
Medical, safety, or personal vulnerabilities
Refugee cases are deeply personal, emotionally heavy, and legally demanding. We provide:
Compassionate, culturally sensitive representation
Thorough documentation & evidence preparation
Clear explanations of each step
Dedicated hearing preparation
Ontario-wide virtual representation
Confidentiality and respect at all times
We understand what’s at stake — your safety, your future, and your ability to live freely without fear.
Protecting your future starts with strong legal representation. We guide you through every stage with care and expertise. Our team helps you navigate every step with confidence and clarity.
A refugee is someone who fears persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. Canada also protects individuals at risk of torture or cruel treatment.

Timelines vary by country of origin and case complexity. Some hearings occur within months, while others take longer due to backlogs.
