Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes. My point is that each refugee case is unique in itself, and when you put the issues in eight days, it's critical, depending on the case of the refugee. Some refugees are here and they are ready for counsellors in eight days. Some have passed through trauma and they want to settle down and get a hold of themselves and then interview with an officer.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  The PRRA system could be there as a final step in the process before removing the refugee from the country. It gives him a last chance if the conditions have changed or if during the process of the claim itself some circumstances have happened in his country that can support his claim as a refugee.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  In my opinion, eight days is too short for a refugee to be even interviewed for his case. By the time the refugee reaches Canada, he has passed through many problems, and he needs time first of all to get past the trauma and the psychological problems.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I would say it would be at least 45 days before the first interview.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  The hearing should be at least around six months after that, because some refugees, to support their claims, need to prepare documentation or to get it from abroad, from overseas, or do some research and some other things, so they need some time to do that.
