PROTECTION CLAIM (INSIDE CANADA):

Foreign nationals can file Protection claim either at Canadian port of entry (airports) when they enter Canada or inside Canada (at IRCC office/Online) after their entry. Some foreign nationals also claim protection at both Regular and Irregular borders between USA and Canada.

Their claim at POE is compiled by CBSA officers and forward to IRB (Immigration and Refugees Board). IRB is an independent board that makes decisions on immigration and refugee matters.The IRB decides who is a Convention refugee or a person in need of protection.

Convention refugees are outside their home country or the country they normally live in. They’re not able to return because of a well-founded fear of persecution based on

• Race
• Religion
• Political opinion
• Nationality
• Being part of a social group, such as women or people of a particular sexual orientation

A person in need of protection is a person in Canada who can’t return to their home country safely. This is because, if they return, they may face:

• Danger of torture
• Risk to their life
• Risk of cruel and unusual treatment or punishment

Your refugee claim may not be eligible to be referred to the IRB if:

• You are recognized as a Convention refugee by another country that you can return to
• You were granted protected person status in Canada
• You arrived in Canada via the regular Canada-US border (exceptions apply)
• You are not admissible to Canada on security grounds or because of criminal activity or human rights violations
• You made a previous refugee claim that was not found eligible
• You made a previous refugee claim that was rejected by the IRB
• You abandoned or withdrew a previous refugee claim
• You made a claim in some other country
