Have you started an asylum claim in the IRCC Portal but haven’t submitted it yet?
Here’s what you need to know:
Already submitted? No changes required unless IRCC contacts you.
Application still in progress? You’ll need to review your previous answers and complete new questions.
Claimed asylum at the border? Additional steps may apply if your claim hasn’t been linked to your IRCC Portal account.
IMPORTANT: Unfinished claims will not automatically be cancelled because of this transition.
Make sure your application is complete, accurate and submitted according to IRCC requirements.
