ASYLUM CLAIM INSIDE CANADA:
Foreign nationals can file asylum claim at port of entry or claim protection inside Canada if they fear persecution or danger to their life if they return to their country of citizenship or of usual residence.
The Immigration and Refugee 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.
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
PROCESS:
- Applicants claim asylum either at the port of entry or inside Canada at an IRCC office.
