Protection and Safety for Refugees
Canada is bound by law to protect individuals who fear persecution. We offer a wide range of services for refugees, from preparing asylum applications to handling appeals if necessary.
Who is Considered a Refugee?
Eligibility to be considered a refugee includes:
- Persecution: The individual faces persecution due to their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.
- Humanitarian Grounds: Protection is provided to individuals in life-threatening situations who are unable to return to their home country.
- Life-and-Death Situations: When an individual’s life or freedom is at risk due to these factors, they are considered for refugee status.
