Daniel Epstein
Live webinar
3 hours
This course ran in July 2021. A current course covers the same ground.
This course will explore the rules of evidence that apply to refugee hearings before the Refugee Protection Division (“RPD”) and the Refugee Appeal Division (“RAD”) of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada. We will explore the best practices for building a claim, from establishing the burden of proof and identifying the issues, to preparing disclosure before the RPD and the Appellant’s Record before the RAD. During this course we will discuss the importance of credibility and its maintenance through evidence and claimant testimony.
