An FN's claim for refugee protection was referred to the RPD as an exception to the Safe Third Country Agreement. The claim is rejected, and the FN approaches an inexperienced RCIC for challenging the decision. How should the RCIC respond?

While agreeing to represent the FN might seem like a supportive option, it may not be in the best interest of the FN if the RCIC lacks the necessary experience. Taking on a case beyond one's expertise can lead to inadequate representation and potential harm to the client's chances of success.

This choice, although responsible, may leave the FN without necessary support or options for their case. Simply advising the FN of the limitations does not offer a constructive solution, which the RCIC should ideally provide to assist the FN in navigating the process.

While referring the FN to an experienced RCIC is a step in the right direction, it lacks the collaborative aspect that can enhance the FN's case. An effective response would not only include a referral but also involve working together to ensure that the FN's claims are adequately presented.
