On January 25, 2022, the Government of Canada published an update introducing the Canadian Refugee Protection Portal (CRPP), which was launched on October 6, 2021. Effective immediately, individuals who are currently in Canada can make a refugee claim using the portal. Applicants or their legal representatives will have to create an online account, complete a questionnaire and submit supporting documents online to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Applications of those who require accommodation or have a disability will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
