Brief description
On June 4, 1969, Canada signed the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and the 1967 Protocol.
People who arrive on Canadian soil or governed territories, if eligible, may seek asylum at the port of entry or at one of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada’s (IRCC) offices.
The process for seeking asylum is time sensitive and can be complex and require in-depth knowledge of local and international refugee law.
According to the Convention, a refugee, is someone who is unable or unwilling to return to their country of origin owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion.
If you are currently a refugee outside Canada, there are various ways we can help through. However, a thorough Refugee Case Assessment must be conducted to assess your eligibility.
Contact us for more information and guidance on this matter.

All information provided and any documentation received by the RCIC-IRB, required by IRCC-IRB and all other governing bodies, and used for the consultation and /or the preparation of the application will not be divulged to any third party, other than agents and employees, without prior consent, except as demanded by law.
