Convention Refugee Claim: This retainer covers the provision of legal services in relation to the preparation and submission of a Convention Refugee Claim for the Principal Applicant and any included family members. This scope includes legal consultation and case strategy, preparation and completion of the Basis of Claim (BOC) Form, review and organization of supporting documents provided by the Client, preparation of standard supporting materials, and routine written correspondence with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB), and/or the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), as applicable. This retainer covers routine services only and does not include non-routine or complex work, including but not limited to preparation of specialized evidence (such as military, security, or expert documentation), responding to extensive CBSA investigations, attendance at additional interviews beyond standard processing, representation at hearings before the Refugee Protection Division (RPD), Ministerial interventions, exclusion proceedings, appeals, judicial review applications, or post-decision matters, unless expressly agreed in writing. Any additional or non-routine services will be billed at the Firm’s hourly rate of $500 per hour unless otherwise agreed. Where CBSA requests additional information only, a flat fee of $1,500 (tax included) applies, which includes review of documents, preparation of required materials, and written correspondence. Where CBSA actively participates in proceedings, raises exclusion issues, or intervenes in hearings, such matters are treated as non-routine and a flat fee of $3,500 (tax included) applies for preparation and representation, regardless of attendance or outcome. The Client acknowledges that eligibility for refugee protection is governed by the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and applicable regulations, including any legislative or policy changes (including but not limited to Bill C-12), which may affect eligibility or the continuation of the claim. Fees are charged for professional services performed and are not contingent on the outcome of the matter. Once work has commenced, fees are earned based on services performed and may not be refundable in the event of withdrawal, abandonment, delay, refusal to proceed, or changes in eligibility. The professional fee for this service is based on the number of applicants included in the claim and includes applicable taxes and standard government or application-related fees. For a single applicant (Principal Applicant only), the total fee is $5,880.00. For a family of two (Principal Applicant and one co-applicant), the total fee is $8,400.00. For a family of three, the total fee is $10,920.00. For a family of four, the total fee is $13,440.00. For a family of five, the total fee is $15,960.00.

Routine correspondence with relevant immigration authorities in relation to the PRRA is included. If the Client signs this agreement prior to receiving a PRRA invitation or package, $1,500.00 of the total fee will be allocated immediately toward the preliminary preparation of PRRA documentation based on the refugee claim materials submitted, ensuring the file is as complete as possible in anticipation of eligibility. This retainer covers routine services only and does not include non-routine or complex work, including but not limited to: preparation of specialized or expert evidence; extensive CBSA investigations or enforcement actions; admissibility or exclusion proceedings; detention reviews; Ministerial interventions; judicial review applications, stays of removal, mandamus applications, appeals, reconsideration requests, or any Federal Court proceedings; humanitarian and compassionate applications; work permit, study permit, or permanent residence applications; or any other immigration matters not specifically listed above.

The Client acknowledges that eligibility for refugee protection and PRRA is governed by the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and applicable regulations, including any legislative or policy changes (including but not limited to Bill C-12), which may affect eligibility or continuation of the matter. Fees are charged for professional services performed and are not contingent on the outcome. Once work has commenced, fees are earned based on services performed and may not be refundable in the event of withdrawal, abandonment, delay, refusal to proceed, or changes in eligibility. Fees and Payment: Fees are charged for professional services performed and are not contingent on the outcome.

Should the IRCC not issue a PRRA invitation, the $1,500.00 allocated for preliminary PRRA preparation and eligibility assessment will be retained by the Firm as earned fees for services performed and will remain non-refundable. *

Combined (Protection-Seeker) Legal Services Package: Scope of Services: This retainer covers legal services for a combined immigration package consisting of: (1) a Convention Refugee Claim in the context of legislative changes including but not limited to Bill C-12; (2) a Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) Permanent Residence Application; and (3) a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) application, if and when the Client becomes eligible. The Firm will provide legal consultation and case strategy, including a review of the Client’s immigration history, identity documents, travel history, family composition, and claimed risk factors, and will advise on the coordination of the refugee claim, H&C application, and PRRA strategy. Refugee Claim (Post-C-12): The Firm will take instructions from the Client, prepare and complete the Basis of Claim (BOC) Form, review and organize documents provided by the Client, prepare routine supporting materials, and submit the refugee claim package where authorized and able to do so. The Firm will provide routine correspondence related to the filing process and guidance on biometrics, eligibility steps, interviews, scheduling, and standard procedural requirements. The Client acknowledges that legislative changes, including Bill C-12, may affect eligibility for referral to the Refugee Protection Division (RPD), and no guarantee of eligibility or referral is provided. Representation at any refugee hearing is not included unless separately agreed in writing. Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) Application: The Firm will assess the basic merits of an H&C application, prepare and submit the application, draft written submissions addressing key H&C factors such as establishment in Canada, best interests of affected children, and hardship upon return, and review supporting documentation provided by the Client. Routine correspondence with IRCC is included. Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) Preliminary Scope and Fee Allocation: If this agreement is executed prior to the Client receiving a PRRA notice, $1,500.00 of the total paid fee shall be allocated to the preliminary preparation of the PRRA file. This work includes the preparation and organization of available documentation and evidence based on the materials submitted for the refugee claim. Given the strict statutory deadlines associated with PRRA submissions, this allocation ensures the immediate commitment of the Firm’s resources to the file and secures the Firm’s availability. Should the Client receive a PRRA notice, a separate, formal retainer agreement detailing the full legal fees for the final preparation and submission of the application must be signed. The $1,500.00 preliminary fee will be credited toward the total legal fees upon execution of that formal PRRA retainer agreement. The Client acknowledges that PRRA eligibility, issuance, and timelines are determined by IRCC and are outside the Firm’s control. Limitations of Scope: This retainer covers routine legal services only. It does not include non-routine or complex services such as expert evidence, extensive affidavit drafting, CBSA enforcement matters, admissibility or exclusion proceedings, detention reviews, Ministerial interventions, reconsideration requests, appeals, Federal Court litigation (including judicial review, stays, or mandamus), refugee hearings, or any immigration matter not expressly listed above. Disbursements are not included, including but not limited to translation, interpretation, notarization, medical exams, expert reports, courier charges, and government fees. Additional or non-routine services will be billed at $500/hour unless otherwise agreed in writing. Acknowledgment: The Client acknowledges that eligibility for refugee protection, H&C relief, and PRRA is governed by the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, related regulations, and applicable policies, including legislative changes such as Bill C-12, which may affect eligibility, process, or outcome. Fees and Payment: Fees are charged for professional services performed and are not contingent on the outcome. The total professional fee for the combined package for one person is: $13,742.82 (inclusive of 12% tax). Installments: 6 installments of $2,290.47 For each additional family member, an additional fee will be added: $3,435.70 per additional family member. No Refund Policy: Fees are earned as services are performed. All fees are strictly non-refundable once work has commenced. For the purposes of this agreement, "work performed" or "work done" is defined as the Firm having prepared the relevant files and documentation for filing. The Client acknowledges that the earned fees are based on the preparation of these materials and are entirely independent of the results, outcomes, or decisions made by immigration authorities regarding the applications. *

Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) Legal Services: Scope of Work The Firm is retained to represent the Client in connection with a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (“PRRA”) application. This retainer applies to both existing clients of Pax Law and new clients seeking representation for their PRRA matter. Under this retainer, the Firm’s services may include the following, as reasonably required by the Client’s matter: A. Review of Documentation and Current Circumstances Reviewing prior refugee claim files, including previously submitted narratives, evidence, and procedural history. Reviewing updated facts, current risk concerns, new developments, and any changes since the earlier refugee claim proceedings. Assessing the Client’s eligibility, timing, and readiness for a PRRA application. B. PRRA Case Preparation Taking updated instructions from the Client. Identifying and reviewing relevant new evidence, updated country condition documentation, and personal risk evidence. Preparing, drafting, editing, and finalizing PRRA forms, affidavit(s), supporting documents, and written submissions. Organizing and presenting the Client’s case in a clear and legally coherent manner, with attention to prior refugee claim history and any credibility or evidentiary issues arising from that history.

Correspondence, as necessary, with IRCC, CBSA, or other relevant authorities regarding the PRRA matter. Providing updates on major procedural steps and decisions. Explanation of Service Tiers Tier 1: Pax Law Refugee Claim Clients This tier is intended for past refugee claim clients of the Firm.

This service requires a comprehensive initial review of external files and a full reconstruction of the case history.

This proactive approach ensures that we can provide a complete and high-quality submission within the strict 15-day deadline once the package is received. For the work performed prior to the receipt of the PRRA package, the Firm charges $1,500 plus 5% GST per person in the family (e.g., $3,000 plus 5% GST for a family of two). This portion of the fee is earned upon the commencement of work and is non-refundable. The total fee for this service is payable in six (6) monthly instalments. The first instalment is due on the day of signing the contract, with subsequent payments due every month thereafter until the balance is cleared. Excluded Services: Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing, this retainer does not include: reopening or revising the previous refugee claim file except to the extent necessary to prepare the PRRA; Federal Court proceedings, including applications for leave and judicial review or stay motions; humanitarian and compassionate applications; refugee appeal work; detention or inadmissibility proceedings; work permit, permanent residence, or other collateral immigration applications; interpretation, translation, notarization, expert evidence, medical evidence, filing fees, courier charges, or other disbursements; services required due to urgency, incomplete disclosure, new legal complications, or extraordinary procedural developments, unless separately agreed in writing. *

These General Terms and Conditions form part of your retainer agreement with Pax Law Corporation (“the Firm”). By signing the retainer agreement, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these terms. ⸻ 1. Formation of Retainer A lawyer–client relationship is created only when: (a) the Firm accepts your matter, (b) you provide the initial retainer funds required, and (c) you provide the information and documents necessary for us to act. Submitting an inquiry or completing a form does not create a lawyer–client relationship. If you have a deadline, it is your responsibility to notify us and ensure that we have sufficient time to act. ⸻ 2. Fees, Billing, and Payment 2.1 Fees and Reasonableness Fees are charged in accordance with the Retainer Agreement. All fees must be fair and reasonable as required by the LSBC and take into account factors such as complexity, urgency, required expertise, and time spent. 2.2 Invoices and Trust Funds Retainer funds will be held in our trust account in accordance with LSBC Trust Accounting Rules. Invoices will be issued periodically and paid from trust funds. You may be required to replenish trust funds. 2.3 Non-Payment If fees are not paid when due, the Firm may cease work and may withdraw from the matter in accordance with LSBC Rules. 2.4 Fee Review Rights You are entitled to have our accounts reviewed under the Legal Profession Act through the LSBC Fee Review or Fee Mediation Programs. ⸻ 3. Additional Charges • Rush files: 30% additional fee • Complex or non-routine matters: 30% additional fee • Exceptional tasks (procedural fairness letters, inadmissibility issues, extraordinary updates, or work not within the original scope): $500 per hour ⸻ 4. Identification and Verification We must verify your identity under the Law Society of BC Client Identification and Verification Rules. You must provide acceptable identification and any additional documentation required by law. ⸻ 5. Responsibility for Documents and Information We rely on the accuracy of the information you provide. We do not independently verify authenticity unless agreed in writing. You bear all responsibility for ensuring your information and documents are truthful and complete. Providing false, altered, or misleading documents may result in immediate termination of services. ⸻ 6. Communication Email is our primary method of communication. You must provide an active, reliable email address. Documents must be provided by email—not through messaging applications (WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.). ⸻ 7. Limited Scope of Services We will only perform the services described in the signed retainer. We are not responsible for issues or tasks outside the agreed scope unless separately authorized in writing. ⸻ 8. Termination and Lawyer Withdrawal 8.1 Client Termination You may terminate our services at any time. You remain responsible for fees and disbursements incurred to the date of termination. 8.2 Lawyer Withdrawal We may withdraw from representing you for reasons permitted by LSBC Rule 3.7, including: • non-payment of fees; • loss of confidence; • where instructions are unreasonable, imprudent, or contrary to advice; • unethical, improper, or illegal conduct; • persistent communication issues; or • where continuing to act would breach our professional obligations (including conflicts of interest). We will provide reasonable notice unless circumstances require immediate withdrawal or withdrawal requires leave of a court or tribunal. ⸻ 9. No Guarantee of Outcome Legal matters involve risks and uncertainties. We make no guarantees regarding the outcome of any application, proceeding, or negotiation. Fees are earned for work performed, not results. ⸻ 10. Disbursements and Office Charges You are responsible for all out-of-pocket expenses (“disbursements”), such as postage, couriers, filing fees, government charges, travel, expert reports, transcripts, and interpreters. Paralegal and administrative support time may be billed as office charges. Taxes apply where required by law. ⸻ 11. Cloud-Based Storage and Privacy 11.1 Cloud Storage We may use cloud-based storage solutions, some hosted outside Canada, following LSBC security guidelines. We take reasonable steps to protect your information but cannot guarantee absolute security. 11.2 Privacy Compliance We collect, use, and disclose personal information in accordance with BC’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA). Your information is collected solely to provide legal services, manage your file, and meet regulatory requirements. 11.3 Privacy Officer Questions about our privacy practices may be directed to our Privacy Officer at: privacy@paxlaw.ca ⸻ 12. Legislative or Policy Changes Changes to laws, regulations, policies, or government processing times may affect your matter. No refunds will be issued for work already performed. ⸻ 13. Joint Retainers and Conflicts of Interest (if applicable) 13.1 Equal Duty of Loyalty When acting for two or more clients jointly, we owe each client an equal duty of loyalty, candour, and commitment. 13.2 No Confidentiality Between Joint Clients Information provided by one joint client will be shared with the other(s). No information may be kept confidential within a joint retainer. 13.3 Continuing Conflict Assessment We must continually assess whether a conflict of interest exists or arises under LSBC Rules 3.4-1 to 3.4-10. 13.4 If a Conflict Arises If a conflict arises, the Firm may be required to: (a) cease acting for all clients, or (b) continue for one client only if all affected clients give informed written consent and LSBC rules allow it. 13.5 Mandatory Withdrawal If we determine that continuing to act would breach LSBC rules, we must withdraw—even if inconvenient for the clients. 13.6 Independent Legal Advice Joint clients are encouraged to seek independent legal advice before agreeing to a joint retainer. ⸻ 14. Limitation of Liability To the extent permitted by law, our liability is limited to direct losses caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct. We are not liable for: • misrepresentations or forged documents provided by you or others; • government delays or decisions; • currency or banking issues; • policy changes beyond our control; • indirect, consequential, or special damages. Nothing in this agreement limits liability where prohibited by law or LSBC rules. ⸻ 15.
