Hi there,
A friend claimed refugee protection in Canada and received a positive decision by IRB. His case was genuine. However for a personal reason he wanted to revoke his refugee status and go back to his country of origin. Is there a mechanism for doing this? Some people might be offended by this however he has a reason which he didn't want to reveal in this forum.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your friend's situation with us.

It is best if your friend get some legal advice in this situation.

Your friend may want to contact a refugee serving/settlement agency to see if they can provide them with some information and referrals for this type of situation.

If your friend would like to contact a lawyer, you can find some information on how and where to contact a lawyer in our Settlement.Org How do I find a lawyer? article.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
