Protected person

[Kan786]

Hello every one, I will apply this year for my Canadian passport. Right now I am a protected person in Canada with a permenant resident status. My question is would I be able to travel back to my home country if the person is dead who was the actual threat to me . I am planning to go through a very prestigesus lawyer to resolve this issue after I have my citizenship. Just wanted to get some idea and discuss it here . Thanks in advance to all of you, and for your immense help . Cheers !!!!

After you become a Canadian citizen, you can travel back. Until then, it's risky.

Agreed. Wait for citizenship. Although it’s not used often or commonly pointed out, if the risk associated to your claim no longer exists, the IRB does have the option to recons your refugee status if the threat is no longer there or conditions have changed. I wouldn’t want to do anything at this point that would highlight that situation (particularly if you are questioned about why you would return to the country you sought protection from in the first place).
Once you have citizenship, it’s no longer a concern. No real need to spend extra money on a prestigious lawyer for what is a basic right.

The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act allows for loss of permanent residence status if refugee protection ceases under A108(1)(a) to (d) and if there is a finding of inadmissibility under A40.1. There is no loss of permanent residence status if refugee protection is removed because of a change in country conditions [A108(1)(e)].

Hello I had a question.
If you get your PR are you still recognized as a protected person? As in will people know I am a protected person?

yes you still remain a protected person just a protected person with PR. You are no longer considered a protected person only when you get Canadian citizenship.
