Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

Jaspreet Kaur Dhaliwal, a citizen of India, applied for refugee protection in Canada, citing threats to her life from her parents-in-law in India. However, the Refugee Protection Division (RPD) and Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) rejected her claim, finding her narrative about the threats to be not credible. Dhaliwal then submitted a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) application, citing a new risk from her brother-in-law, who now posed a threat to her and her family's life. The PRRA Officer found Dhaliwal's evidence to be lacking in specificity, and her risk to be a generalized risk.
