Motifs et décision Persons who are the subjects of the appeal XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Personnes en cause Appeal considered at Montréal, Quebec Appel instruit à Date of decision July 3, 2015 Date de la décision Panel Me Diane Sokolyk Tribunal Counsel for the persons who are the subjects of the appeal Me Vincent Desbiens Conseil des personnes en cause Designated representative N/A Représentant(e) désigné(e) Counsel for the Minister N/A Conseil du ministre REASONS FOR DECISION [1] The Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) received a notice of appeal regarding a decision rendered by the Refugee Protection Division (RPD) in the claim for refugee protection filed by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. [2] The RAD received the notice of appeal on June 17, 2015. The persons who are the subject of the appeal are appealing the RPD decision dated June 3, 2015, rejecting the claims for refugee protection; the written reasons were deemed to have been received on June 10, 2015, according to the notice of appeal. [3] The appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction because the appeal deals with an RPD decision that is not subject to appeal, pursuant to subparagraph 110(2)(d)(i) of the amended Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), which reads as follows: 110(2) No appeal may be made in respect of any of the following: (d) subject to the regulations, a decision of the Refugee Protection Division in respect of a claim for refugee protection if (i) the foreign national who makes the claim came directly or indirectly to Canada from a country that is, on the day on which their claim is made, designated by regulations made under subsection 102(1) and that is a party to an agreement referred to in paragraph 102(2)(d), and (ii) the claim - by virtue of regulations made under paragraph 102(1)(c) - is not ineligible under paragraph 101(1)(e) to be referred to the Refugee Protection Division. [4] According to paragraph 159.5(b), it was open to the appellants to file a claim for refugee protection because they are caught by one of the exceptions set out. 159.5 Paragraph 101(1)(e) of the Act does not apply if a claimant who seeks to enter Canada at a location other than one identified in paragraphs 159.4(1)(a) to (c) establishes, in accordance with subsection 100(4) of the Act, that [...] (b) a family member of the claimant is in Canada and is (i) a protected person within the meaning of subsection 95(2) of the Act, (ii) a permanent resident under the Act, or [5] Moreover, according to subparagraph 110(2)(i), no appeal may be made in respect of their claim. [6] When the claimants, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX, entered Canada and claimed refugee protection, they had a sister in Canada who was a permanent resident. [7] The appeal is therefore dismissed.
