Canada, known for its commitment to humanitarian values and respect for human rights, has long been a destination for individuals seeking refuge from persecution, violence, and instability in their home countries. The process of claiming asylum in Canada is a multifaceted and structured system governed by the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and overseen by the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB). 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
