Refugee Protection in Canada
Finding Safety and Security through Canada’s Refugee Program
Canada’s commitment to human rights and humanitarian assistance is embodied in its Refugee Protection Program. This program offers a lifeline to individuals who are forced to flee their home countries due to a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.
The Process of Seeking Refuge or Asylum in Canada
Asylum in Canada provides a legal and safe way for refugees to find protection. Asylum seekers can make their claim at Canadian borders, at airports, or from within the country. Canada assesses each claim on its own merits, ensuring a fair and just process for those seeking refuge.
Eligibility for Refugee Status
To be eligible for refugee status in Canada, individuals must:
Prove that returning to their home country would subject them to danger of torture, risk to their life, or risk of cruel and unusual treatment or punishment due to race, religion, political opinion, nationality and being associated with a group.
Not be inadmissible to Canada on grounds of security, violating human or international rights, serious criminality, or organized criminality.
The Role of the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB)
The Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) of Canada is responsible for hearing and deciding on refugee claims. The IRB assesses each case, considering factors like the situation in the claimant’s home country and their personal circumstances.
