Can a refugee claimant get CSQ before attending his hearing

[ze12]

Hi guys hope u all doing well
I was wondering if a refugee claimant can get CSQ before attending his hearing. I am asking this question cause when I go to the site of the CSQ they say that a "person to be protected" has the right to apply to a CSQ. But to be honest I'm lost! What does "person to be protected" mean, is it a refugee claimant ? If that's the case, does having the brown paper qualify you as a person to be protected ?
If not how can you become one, is it through attending the IRB hearing ? But wouldn't that make you a protected person and not a person to be protected ?

Here's a link in case you wanna check it. You'll just have to read the first two sentences, it's in French however

Thanks in advance <3

The answer to your question is no, you cannot apply before the hearing.

Protected person status is what you receive if your hearing is successful and you are accepted as a refugee. So you have to wait until after the hearing and until after you have a positive result before you can apply for CSQ.
