Asylum & Refugee Claim in Canada

Canadian Immigration Consultant In Lahore-Asylum & Refugee Claim in Canada

If foreign nationals face persecution or life-threatening danger in their home country, they can seek asylum upon entry into Canada or from within the country. The Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB), an impartial authority, manages these cases and assesses whether individuals meet the criteria as Convention refugees or persons in need of protection. This process ensures a fair evaluation for those seeking safety and refuge in Canada.

1. Convention Refugee
  1. Location: Must be outside their home country or usual country of residence.
  2. Fear of Persecution: Must have a well-founded fear of persecution based on:
    • Race
    • Religion
    • Political opinion
    • Nationality
    • Membership in a particular social group (e.g., women, LGBTQ+ individuals)

These points outline the fundamental criteria used to determine eligibility for Convention refugee status, ensuring protection for individuals facing persecution based on these specified grounds.

2. Person In Need of Protection

A person in need of protection in Canada is someone who faces significant risks that prevent them from safely returning to their home country. This designation ensures that individuals at risk of serious harm are granted refuge and safety within Canada’s borders.

Points summarizing eligibility for a person in need of protection:

  • Risk of Torture: Faces a real danger of torture if they return to their home country.
  • Risk to Life: Their life is at risk if they were to go back.
  • Cruel or Unusual Treatment: Faces the risk of experiencing cruel or unusual treatment or punishment upon return.

Your refugee claim may not be eligible to be referred to the IRB if you:

  • Recognized as Convention Refugee Elsewhere: If recognized as a refugee by another country where it is safe for you to return.
  • Granted Protected Person Status in Canada: If granted protected person status in Canada, indicating that you are allowed to stay and are protected under Canadian law.
  • Arrived via Regular Canada-US Border: Arriving in Canada through the regular Canada-US border, which affects eligibility and processing.
  • Inadmissible due to Security or Criminal Reasons: Not admissible to Canada due to concerns related to security, criminal activity, or violations of human rights.
  • Previously Found Ineligible for Refugee Status: Having made a refugee claim before that was found ineligible.
  • Previous Refugee Claim Rejected by IRB: Having a previous refugee claim rejected by the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) of Canada.
  • Abandoned or Withdrew a Previous Refugee Claim: Having abandoned or withdrawn a previous refugee claim.
Process:
  • Asylum Application: Applicants can seek asylum in Canada at a port of entry or at an Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) office within the country.
  • Claim Acceptance: If their claim is accepted, it is referred to the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB). They are granted a work permit and receive health coverage through the Interim Federal Health Program.
  • IRB Hearing: The Refugee Protection division of the IRB schedules a hearing to assess the asylum claim.
  • Permanent Residence Application: Upon approval by the IRB, applicants can apply for Permanent Residence in Canada, transitioning from protected person status.
  • Appeals Process: If their claim is rejected, applicants can appeal to the Refugee Appeal division of the IRB. If rejected again, they can seek recourse through the Federal Court.
  • Deportation Order: If all appeals fail, a departure order may become a deportation order, leading to potential removal from Canada.
  • PRRA Application: Before departure, applicants can file a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) to substantiate their claim of facing risks upon return to their home country.
