Refugee protection in Canada

⚖️ 🇨🇦 Canadian Refugee Claim – Protection and a New Beginning in Canada

A refugee claim is a formal request for protection made by a person who is fleeing their country due to a well-founded fear of persecution, violence, or danger. Canada, as a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention, provides a fair legal process for individuals who seek asylum and protection on Canadian soil.

Refugee protection in Canada ensures that individuals are not returned to a country where they may face persecution or risk to life, liberty, or security.

🔹 Types of Protection Available

Canada recognizes two main refugee categories:

  1. Convention Refugees:
    People who fear persecution based on one of the 5 protected grounds.

  2. Persons in Need of Protection:
    Individuals who face risks such as torture, risk to life, or cruel and unusual treatment or punishment if returned to their country.
