About
We are a free Canadian legal clinic. We provide legal information and brief advice to people seeking refugee protection at the Canada–US border. Our goal is to help you understand your options and feel prepared before you go to the border
We focus on people who may qualify for an exception to the Safe Third Country Agreement because we are a small team. We primarily help people before they go to the border and do not offer urgent legal advice.
We are a virtual clinic. All services are provided by email, phone, or video.
