The best thing to do is to put the date when you signed the Basis of Claim form. That's what I would do.

What about the day you were issued brown paper? Cos for me the day I submitted my claim was when I got the brown paper.

As @/Driz001 said, if you were issued your RPCD/brown paper the day you submitted your claim, that should be the date you enter.

Several dates could serve the purpose such as the date you passed the eligibility interview, the date your case was referred, the date you received brown paper…. Try to remember one of these dates

Thanks everyone for your help, I think brown paper is the refugee protection claimant document, I found it and I put the date i have on it. For the date my asylum was accepted I put the appeal notice of decision, the date my appeal was considered

Yes the brown paper is the refugee claimant protection document.

For the date your asylum was accepted, I would put the date that your Notice of Decision is ISSUED, not the date you had your hearing.
