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 an individual fleeing their country due to a well-founded fear of persecution, violence, or a serious threat to their life or freedom. Canada, as a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention, offers a fair and legal process for individuals seeking asylum and protection within its borders.
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: Canada recognizes two main categories:
Convention Refugees:
People who fear persecution based on one of the five protected groundsPersons 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
