​ Refugees and Asylum

A convention refugee is someone who has a founded fear that they will be persecuted because of their race, nationality, religion, membership or political opinion when they travel outside of the country. If you do need protection in Canada then you would need to base this on the fact that you would experience cruel behavior, treatment or punishment if you went back. It should be noted that most refugees are granted status to live inside Canada if they make a claim with the inland Canada immigration office. Once A CIC professional has decided that you are eligible for protection, the claim is then sent to the IRB where a hearing will then take place. This will include members from the Refugee Division and they will then determine whether or not you are classed as a convention refugee or someone who is in need of some protection.
