Refugee Applications Canada
Canada offers protection to individuals who are unable to return to their home country due to persecution, violence, or risk to their safety. We provide guidance to help you understand the refugee application process and prepare your case carefully.
OVERVIEW
What Is a Refugee Claim?
A refugee claim is a request for protection made by someone who fears persecution or danger in their home country. In Canada, refugee claims are assessed by the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB), which determines whether an individual qualifies for protection.
Successful applicants may be allowed to stay in Canada and eventually apply for permanent residence.
Who Qualifies for Refugee Protection in Canada?
You may qualify for refugee protection if you:
- Have a well-founded fear of persecution due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group
- Face risk to your life, torture, or cruel and unusual treatment if returned to your home country
- Are unable to receive protection from your home country
Each case is assessed individually based on the evidence provided.
