We offer legal services related to refugees. If you are a foreign individual in Canada who is facing fear of persecution in your home country, you may be eligible for refugee status and protection in Canada. Refugee status and protection may be offered by Canada to a Foreign individual who is already in Canada because of fear of persecution. This can allow the foreign individual to live and work in Canada as a permanent resident and seek safety from persecution. For instance, if the individual goes back to the home country, they may face torture, risk to life, and cruel and unusual treatment or punishment.
In order to make a refugee claim, you must be in Canada and cannot be under a removal order. Your eligibility for refugee status will be determined by the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada. There are two categories of refugee status: convention refugee and person in need of protection.
A convention refugee is an individual who is outside of their home country and cannot return due to a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, political opinion, nationality, or being a part of a particular social group (such as the 2SLGBTQ+ community).
A person in need of protection is an individual who is in Canada and cannot safely return to their home country due to a danger of torture, risk of life, or risk of cruel and unusual treatment or punishment.
