Immigration & Refugee Matters

Legal Aid Saskatchewan can help with some immigration and refugee legal matters if you have a low income and qualify for legal aid.

Starting on September 14, 2026, we can help if you are a refugee claimant and need assistance with:

• a Basis of Claim (BOC) form
• a refugee hearing

• a pre-removal risk assessment application

Starting in January 2027, we will also be able to help with:

• refugee appeals
• judicial reviews
• detention review hearings
• removal order appeals
• stay of removal applications

We cannot help with:

• family sponsorship
• permanent residence applications
• work, study or visitor permit renewals
