National

Ready Tours

Sign up for an online Ready Tour from anywhere in Canada. Meet a person from the Immigration and Refugee Board and learn:

  • how to prepare for your hearing, 
  • what happens on your hearing day, and
  • who may be at your refugee hearing.

Mock (pretend) Refugee Hearing Program

Have a practice refugee hearing online! You will be better prepared and calmer for your real hearing with the Immigration and Refugee Board when you know what to expect.
