Refugee claimants - access to standardized claim documents

Resolution number
9
Whereas

there are inconsistencies from province to province about the timing and method, by CIC, of processing refugee claimants which frequently leave claimants unable to access social services, medical care, housing and schooling for children;

Therefore be it resolved

That the CCR request that all refugee claimants entering Canada, at all Ports of Entry, and at inland CIC offices, in all provinces immediately be issued acknowledgement of claim documents or some other form of photo identification, complete with access to the Interim Federal Health Plan.
