On August 8, 2022, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) restarted the processing of expired refugee protection claimant documents (RPCDs), starting with those that expired on or after January 1, 2020. Affected claimants can now mail in their RPCD request form and photographs to the IRCC office in Winnipeg. Clients will receive their renewed document by mail or be asked to come into an office after a request has been processed. RPCDs that were due to expire before January 2020 will be renewed at a later date. All the expired RPCDs, meanwhile, remain in force until further notice.
