FAQ -->\r\n      <section class=\"bgrc__sec bgrc__reveal\" id=\"rc-faq\">\r\n        <h2 class=\"bgrc__h\"><span class=\"num\">08<\/span> Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\r\n        <div class=\"bgrc__h-rule\"><\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"bgrc__faq\">\r\n          <details>\r\n            <summary>What is the difference between a Convention refugee and a person in need of protection?<span class=\"ic\">+<\/span><\/summary>\r\n            <div class=\"ans\">A Convention refugee fears persecution based on race, religion, political opinion, nationality, or membership in a particular social group. A person in need of protection faces a danger of torture, a risk to their life, or a risk of cruel and unusual treatment or punishment. Both, if accepted, become protected persons in Canada.<\/div>\r\n          <\/details>\r\n          <details>\r\n            <summary>Can I claim refugee protection if I came to Canada through the United States?<span class=\"ic\">+<\/span><\/summary>\r\n            <div class=\"ans\">Under the Canada\u2013U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement, people entering from the U.S. along the land border are generally ineligible to claim in Canada and may be returned, unless they meet an exception \u2014 such as certain family in Canada, being an unaccompanied minor, holding specific valid Canadian documents, or a public-interest exception. Because this is fact-specific, get advice before you travel.<\/div>\r\n          <\/details>\r\n          <details>\r\n            <summary>What is the Basis of Claim (BOC) form and why does it matter?<span class=\"ic\">+<\/span><\/summary>\r\n            <div class=\"ans\">The BOC form is where you explain who you are and why you need protection. The RPD relies on it heavily, and the member may question you about anything in it \u2014 or left out of it \u2014 at your hearing. It is usually the most important document in your claim, so it must be accurate, complete, and consistent with your other forms. Missing the submission deadline can lead to an abandonment hearing.<\/div>\r\n          <\/details>\r\n          <details>\r\n            <summary>Can I work or study while I wait for a decision?<span class=\"ic\">+<\/span><\/summary>\r\n            <div class=\"ans\">In many cases, yes. You may be eligible for an open work permit once your claim is found eligible to be referred to the IRB and you have passed your immigration medical exam \u2014 with no fee while your claim is pending. For study, you generally apply for a study permit and need a letter of acceptance; minor children can usually attend school from kindergarten to grade 12 without one. Confirm current rules and fees with IRCC.<\/div>\r\n          <\/details>\r\n          <details>\r\n            <summary>What happens if my claim is accepted or refused?<span class=\"ic\">+<\/span><\/summary>\r\n            <div class=\"ans\">If the RPD accepts your claim, you become a protected person and may apply for permanent residence. If your claim is refused, you may have options depending on your situation \u2014 such as an appeal to the Refugee Appeal Division or judicial review at the Federal Court. A licensed consultant can help you understand which options apply to you.<\/div>\r\n          <\/details>\r\n          <details>\r\n            <summary>Is BroadGate able to give legal advice on my claim?<span class=\"ic\">+<\/span><\/summary>\r\n            <div class=\"ans\">This page is general information, not legal advice, and no outcome can be guaranteed. BroadGate's licensed\/regulated Canadian immigration consultants (RCICs regulated by the CICC) can review your situation, help you prepare your claim and documents, and explain your options for your specific case.<\/div>\r\n          <\/details>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n      <\/section>\r\n\r\n      <!-- ===== CTA ===== -->\r\n      <section class=\"bgrc__cta bgrc__reveal\">\r\n        <div class=\"bgrc__cta-text\">\r\n          <p class=\"bgrc__cta-eyebrow\">Talk to a Licensed Expert<\/p>\r\n          <h2>Seeking protection in Canada?<\/h2>\r\n          <p>Our licensed team can help you understand your eligibility, prepare a strong Basis of Claim, and move through the process with clarity and confidence.<\/p>\r\n          <div class=\"bgrc__cta-row\">\r\n            <a href=\"#book\" class=\"bgrc__btn bgrc__btn--primary\">\r\n              Book a Consultation\r\n              <svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2.5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"><path d=\"M5 12h14M13 6l6 6-6 6\"\/><\/svg>\r\n            <\/a>\r\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/broadgate.ca\/free-immigration-assessment\/\" class=\"bgrc__btn bgrc__btn--ghost\">Free Assessment<\/a>\r\n          <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"bgrc__cta-media\">\r\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/broadgate.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/chosen_transparent-2-scaled.png\" alt=\"BroadGate founder\" loading=\"lazy\">\r\n        <\/div>\r\n      <\/section>\r\n\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<script>\r\n\/* Reveal-on-scroll.
