Canada offers refugee protection to people in Canada who fear persecution and are unwilling or unable to return to their home country.
Convention Refugee
Convention refugees are people who are outside their home country or the country where they normally live, and who are unwilling to return because of a well-founded fear of persecution based on:
race
religion
political opinion
nationality or
membership in a particular social group, such as women or people of a particular sexual orientation.
Person in need of protection
A person in need of protection is a person in Canada whose removal to their home country or country where they normally live would subject them personally to:
a danger of torture;
a risk to their life; or
a risk of cruel and unusual treatment or punishment.
You need to file a refugee claim as soon as you enter Canada by air, sea, or land. It is a responsibility of Canadas border authorities to assess the eligibility of the refugee claims that they receive. If the officer finds that your claim is eligible, he or she hands it to the Refugee Board of Canada for decision. Alternatively, you may file a refugee claim with an office of Citizenship and Immigration Canada while you are already in the country. In this case, you may download an application kit from the official website of Citizenship and Immigration Canada. No matter how you file a refugee application, make sure you have some identification document with you, be it a travel passport or a driving licence.
Government assisted support is delivered by non-for-profit organizations and includes assistance in finding employment, accommodation, food, clothing, and other necessary resettlement assistance. Refugees receive financial assistance and resettled refugees are granted loans. The refugees coming to Canada are taken care of by groups of private persons who have signed agreements with the immigration authorities to support such people. Some of the sponsors duties and responsibilities are: providing financial settlement assistance to the refugees, once they have set foot on Canadian soil; giving emotional support to their dependent refugees during the sponsorship period which lasts one year in most cases.
The refugees who are resettled in Canada fall in three categories: convention refugees abroad, country of asylum, and source country class. The last category allows refugees from some countries to apply for direct resettlement to Canada under extraordinary circumstances. Note that application fees apply for all types of refugee status applications. The fees are payable online or through a direct bank transfer. Once a refugee claim is accepted, the applicant receives a status of protected person, which allows him to stay in Canada and apply for permanent residence.
