Received a PRRA Decision Letter from CBSA and was asked to complete the client information form. Is this normal?

Hi,

My family member received a PRRA decision from CBSA; they asked her to attend a personal interview to pick up her decision. I know this is standard procedure, but the letter also included a Client Information Form issued by the Immigration Enforcement Operations Division, which was asked to fill out before the interview.

My family member became ineligible as a result of the C-12 Bill. I checked the forums and found that some people mentioned receiving this letter, but none mentioned being asked to fill out the Client Information Form. So I’d like to know if this letter is part of the standard procedure, sent to us regardless of the outcome, or if we should consider it a sign of a negative decision.

Thank you.

Received a letter of ineligibility in May.
Attended the first CBSA interview on June 1 and filled out this form at that time.
Submitted the application on July 1 and received a letter today, November 12.
The lawyer did not receive the results online.

i hope all the best for you.
Do PRRA applications really get processed in 5–6 months? People sometimes wait 2-3 years just to get an asylum hearing. There’s something strange going on here, too.
As far as I know, the success rate for PRRA (Pre-Removal Risk Assessment) applications filed due to ineligibility is not actually that low.

Did they ask you to bring 2 or 4 passport size photos?

CBSA said to make an appointment or just walk in during their working hours?

They wrote the interview time on it.

I don't think receiving a Client Information Form necessarily means that the PRRA decision is negative. CBSA may request updated personal and contact information as part of its immigration enforcement and administrative procedures, regardless of the outcome. However, without seeing the exact wording of the letter, it is difficult to determine why the form was requested in this particular case.

I would recommend completing the form accurately and attending the scheduled interview as instructed.
One important question: Does the letter specifically mention that the interview is only to communicate the PRRA decision, or does it also refer to removal arrangements or other enforcement procedures?
Given the potential implications of Bill C-12 and the PRRA decision, I would strongly recommend consulting an experienced immigration lawyer before attending the interview.

Hopefully, everything works out positively for your family member.
