The majority of “deferred eligibility” claimants who are transferred to Ontario do still need to complete the portal within the specified deadlines (if any) in the written instructions that they received at the border. [...] Basis of Claim form (BOC) Does the BOC go to the IRB or is it uploaded to the portal? The BOC normally goes to the IRB, unless you are making an inland claim, in which case it must be uploaded to the portal. [...] If the BOC is not complete, claimants can respond to the portal question about the BOC by uploading the acknowledgement of claim document (or confirmation of referral to the IRB, for One Touch claims). [...] Work permits Does a person need to complete the BOC in order to have a work permit? No, the person needs to have completed the portal, but not the BOC. [...] However, if the anchor family member in Canada is a refugee claimant waiting in the eligibility backog (and likely to be found eligible), CBSA has said that the current practice is to adjourn the examination of the person entering Canada and ask the relevant office to expedite the determination of the anchor relative’s eligibility.
