Hey everyone! I have received a letter from CBSA for a call in notice for an interview on May 2nd 2025, mainly because my claim was denied, but I’m not sure what to do because I don’t know what to expect at the interview I’m so nervous and afraid they will send me back home to my home country, is there anyone here who can help me out please if you have any information or have been in this situation before. Because I want to know what will be the next step and what can I do.
Call in Notice from CBSA for Interview (Refugee Claim Got Refused)
- Thread starter Tantan33
- Start date
Make sure you go and don't skip the interview. Hopefully they will offer you PRRA. Are you working with a lawyer?
Impossible to say but if you have always been cooperative with IRCC and CSBA and have no criminal history you should be able to go home that day.
Hello I hope all went well with your interview. Do you mind sharing how it went. Thanks.
Hey Hannah I didn’t show up for the interview because I was so afraid of what was going to happen sigh I am afraid they were going to detain me and send me back to my home country,and now I don’t know what to do.
I think that's a foolish thing to do. If you know you can be detained for not attending the interview, how do you miss it. I don't think they will just kick you out after the interview.
Well, you've pretty much guaranteed you'll be detained now.
An extremely stupid thing to do
And you say you’re working with a lawyer ?
Seriously wonder about people
……now you can be afraid

This was unfortunately a very big mistake.
I assume your lawyer is aware? What does your lawyer say and recommend at this point?
Let me give you a tip
I used to work for the CRA , not the IRCC , not the CBSA , but it’s the Government, and policy is basically the same when they want to talk or meet with a person
Very first thing we learnt in training is that if the Government wants meet you, you DO NOT IGNORE THEM.
This isn’t a game
Nothing ticks off a Government official more than that
Many a time I talked to people where the Government has sent letters regarding collections and the person ignores them .
Soon they’ll find there bank accounts frozen , bank accounts drained and liens placed on property , cars etc
The Government sets the rules , you don’t
Then they’d call me . We can see all interactions on accounts .
And once enforcement has started…
I wouldn’t be surprised if they haven’t put out an immigration arrest warrant

A CBSA officer may issue a warrant for the arrest and detention of a permanent resident or foreign national if the officer has reasonable grounds to believe the individual is inadmissible under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and:
- poses a danger to the public
- is unlikely to appear for an examination, an admissibility hearing, a removal from Canada or at a proceeding that could lead to the making of a removal order by the Minister's Delegate
