Applying for refugee status in Canada is a complex and often challenging process, but it can also be a life-saving one. If you are fleeing persecution or violence in your home country, Canada may be able to offer you a safe haven.
There are two main ways to apply for refugee status in Canada: from within Canada or from outside Canada. If you are already in Canada, you can apply for refugee status by submitting a claim to the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB). If you are outside Canada, you can apply for refugee status through the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Please keep in mind that the application process can take several months or even years to complete.
