The Legal Aid in BC (LABC) website lists immigration-related Q&As that we’ll continue to update. People with family in Afghanistan can email their questions to info@legalaid.bc.ca and we’ll add the Q&A to the website. We’ll also send out Facebook posts or tweets on X (formerly Twitter) with updated information. (See also our comprehensive refugee resources list.)
We have multilingual resources to help refugee claimants.
