ASSIST
“Canadians often assume that seeking asylum in Canada is a quick and easy route to permanent residency and citizenship. Nothing could be further from the truth. With its emphasis on due process, the asylum claim system is a complex machine whose wheels turn slowly. It is managed by a number of bureaucracies which offer different pathways through the system based on the particulars of the claim.” – Robert Falconer, 2019
At COMPASS, we provide a way through the complexities, helping refugee claimants understand and complete the multitude of forms that must be filled out, gather and translate the evidence needed to support their claim, and prepare for the hearings they must attend. Each of our ASSIST programs targets support for the key stages of the refugee claim process.
