If I respond to the advance notice and request an individual assessment within the deadline
If you submit your explanation and at the same time request an individual assessment, we will consider your explanation. If we are able to extend your collective protection, we will discontinue the application for individual assessment. You will receive a new deadline to request protection on an individual basis when the collective protection scheme ends or if you later no longer qualify for collective protection.
If we are not able to extend your collective protection, we will assess your individual protection needs before making a decision not to extend collective protection. If you request individual assessment within the deadline given in the advance notice, you will still be able to live and work as before until we have completed processing your application for protection on an individual basis.
