Refugee Appeal Division (RAD)
You can appeal to the Refugee Appeal Division under specific conditions.

The following deadlines apply to your appeal:
1. You must send your notice of appeal no later than fifteen (15) days after the date of receipt of the written reasons for the RPD's decision,
2. You must submit your appellant's record. No later than forty-five (45) days after the date of receipt of the written reasons for the RPD's decision, unless a hearing is ordered, the RAD will wait fifteen days before rendering a decision on your appeal,
3. The Minister may decide to intervene and provide documentary evidence at any time before the RAD makes a final decision on the appeal,
4. The RAD will wait fifteen (15) days for you to respond to the Minister and the RAD. If the Minister decides to intervene and provide submissions or evidence,
5. The RAD will make a decision on your appeal after your response to the Minister and the RAD, or if fifteen days have passed and you have not responded.
What happens if I miss a deadline?
You must submit a request for an extension of time under Rules 36 and 37 of the RAD. You must include your notice of appeal with your request. You should also attach an affidavit or statutory declaration explaining why you missed the deadline.
