One of the ways to immigrate to Canada is refugee in Canada. Canada usually grants asylum to citizens of countries who may be subject to harassment, torture or inhuman punishment if they return to their home country.
Immigration to Canada through the United Nations
Immigration to Canada through refugee
There are usually two types of refugee claims:
- ordinary asylum and
- people in need of protection
Ordinary refugees
There are usually people from other countries who do not want to return home because they may be harassed, tortured and persecuted if they return to their home. The reasons for this violation of human rights maybe due to the following reasons:
- Race
- Religious
- Political opinion
- Nationality
- Membership in specific social groups
An example of membership in a specific group or community is women and men who have different sexual orientations
People who need care
Those in need of security and care and who are not sufficiently regular asylum seekers are usually the ones who will be tortured if they return home. Their reasons for asylum usually include the following:
- The risk of being tortured
- Life-threatening
- The risk of facing harsh and inhumane punishment
Methods of Immigration to Canada through Asylum
There are two common ways to get asylum in Canada:
- You can submit your application as soon as you reach Canada. This legal requirement can be settled at the airport, water port of entry, or at any of Canada’s legal borders.
- You can also apply after you have settled in Canada at the Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
Your application for asylum in Canada may or may not be legal. The officers on the Immigration and Refugee division will decide on their discretion after receiving your claim. It is an independent organization from the Government of Canada that decides on immigration and asylum matters.
Canadian Asylum Registry
In the following cases, you cannot apply for refugee in Canada:
- If you have applied for asylum in another country and have been approved
- If you have been granted asylum in Canada before
- If you have arrived in Canada from the US border
- If you are wanted for non-political crimes or human rights
- If you have previously applied for asylum in Canada that has not been accepted
- If you have been granted asylum in Canada once and you have left it
- Asylum applications from outside Canada
The process of bringing refugees to Canada and granting them permanent residency in Canada is monitored by the Canadian Citizenship and Asylum Bureau and, if approved by the Government of Canada, is required to make all arrangements.
The Office for Citizenship and Refugees of Canada also responds to such requests from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
Many charity and charity groups have agreed with the Canadian Citizenship and Asylum Office to provide funding for refugees in Canada. In the agreement, these groups pledged to the Canadian government to provide specific monthly salaries and appropriate work and activities for refugees arriving in Canada.
Refugees from displaced countries
These immigrants are those who do not fall into the category of ordinary refugees and include:
- Those who reside abroad when applying for asylum in Canada
- Those who have experienced the worst conditions of foreign war or civil war in their country or live in countries that suffer from violence or gross human rights violations by their people
- Those who cannot find a suitable solution for their immigration status within a specified period of time and may be returned to their home country
- People who are financially well-off or who have a person and persons in Canada who can afford to spend their time in Canada
The fourth group is considered by the Government of Canada to have the best conditions for obtaining asylum in Canada, and many of the refugees who come to Canada each year are from this group.
Refugees from source countries
This group of refugees can be of the following categories:
- Citizens of countries whose name is designated as a source of refugees at the United Nations
- People who have suffered serious injury to themselves or their families due to foreign or civil war or bad military conditions
- Individuals or groups in their own country are having difficulty with freedom of expression, the right to freedom of opinion or free trade, and the right to find work. These individuals are usually religious, political, or sexual minorities that may be detained or detained in their home country.
- Persons who do not enjoy the natural and human rights and benefits of belonging to a particular political, religious, or ethnic minority group in their own country and are mistreated by their government
- People who are financially well-off or who have a person and persons in Canada who can afford their own expenses during their asylum in Canada.
Note that the list of source countries changes every year, and if the applicant’s country name is not listed, they cannot apply for a permanent residence directly and must apply for another asylum application
Note that applicant must meet one of the following conditions for direct immigration through the source countries:
After applying for a residence permit, you must also undergo medical examination for a Canadian visa and health tests and non-political crime inquiries (inadmissibility).
Canadian Immigration Sponsors Finance the people who apply for immigration from source countries and are accepted
Many people living in our country are facing many problems and living in this community is frustrating. Therefore, they decide to apply for asylum in different countries, which often refuses to apply for asylum. At this time you should be able to provide credible evidence that your security is at risk in your country
Disadvantages of Immigration to Canada through Asylum
As a result, as you can see, obtaining asylum requires that the applicant qualify and be in one of the above categories and that the person must be eligible to apply for asylum.
Unfortunately, today there is a mistaken belief for dear compatriots that the asylum procedure is an easy way to obtain residence and that people can obtain Canadian permanent asylum without any conditions if they are not eligible. . Asylum, however, has its own set of conditions that must be proven.
Types of financial guarantees for Canadian refugees
Most immigrants are usually sentenced to one year. But some immigrants may be eligible for a longer tenure
Refugee private custody
There are many ways in which Canadian citizens and / or various charities and organizations can participate and help refugees create a new life.
The financial custody agreement and the legal groups that take over the custody
Many private groups and organizations around Canada have signed a refugee legalization agreement with the Canadian government to help them stay and move in as new refugees come to Canada every year. These organizations can either self-fund the refugees themselves or be in contact with other charities through which they can provide financial assistance to immigrants.
Most of these organizations are religious, ethical, or grassroots organizations
Groups of five
Groups of five are usually five Canadian citizens who work together to obtain financial support for one refugee
The group must undertake refugee financial and emotional custody for the duration of the guarantee, which is usually one year.
Organizational competencies
Some groups and grassroots organizations are institutions that fund refugees.These organizations must also have the full support of refugees financially and emotionally. The term of support is usually one year.
Custody by help groups
These groups work with the Canadian Citizenship and Refugee Office to help refugees settle and reside.
These partnership groups and grassroots organizations have signed an agreement with the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration in accordance with the above provisions.
Immunity and asylum in the province of Quebec
The province of Quebec has its own rules on guardianship and asylum. The Ministry of Home Affairs in Quebec is responsible for refugee claims in Quebec.
