What to gather

Pick your situation. Bring these and the first meeting is worth having.

• The written reasons for the refusal, every page
• The envelope or email showing the date you received them
• Your Basis of Claim form as filed
• Every document already filed with the Refugee Protection Division
• Any document that was not filed, and the reason it was not
• Certified translations of anything not in English or French
• Your representative's name, if you had one at the hearing

A general list. Your file may need more, and a licensed representative will tell you what.
