The Refugee Protection Division (RPD) conducts hearings regularly. You or your lawyer will be contacted to schedule your hearing. Currently, the RPD is scheduling all claimants to participate in virtual hearings using MS Teams. If you agree to have your hearing by video, there are a number of technical requirements that must be met. The RPD will inform you of these requirements. Effective September 5, 2023, participants can apply to have their hearings in person.
