Refugee Claims

Refugee Claims

In Canada, a refugee claim is a formal request made by an individual to seek protection as a refugee under Canadian law. It’s a process where someone fleeing persecution, violence, or other serious human rights abuses in their home country asks Canada to recognize them as a refugee.

If the claim is accepted, the individual can stay in Canada and may eventually become a permanent resident. If the claim is rejected, they may have the option to appeal the decision or explore other legal avenues.

The refugee claim process in Canada is designed to ensure that individuals who genuinely need protection receive it while also maintaining the integrity of Canada’s immigration system.

The key requirements for claiming refugee status in Canada

  • Fear of harm in the home country.
  • Unable to go back due to fear.
  • Seeking safety in another country.
  • Need evidence to support a claim.

Humanitarian Grounds

Humanitarian and compassionate grounds (H&C grounds) are a set of circumstances under Canadian immigration law that allow individuals to apply for permanent residence or other immigration benefits based on humanitarian and compassionate considerations. These grounds are intended to address situations where an applicant faces exceptional and compelling circumstances that warrant special consideration, even if they do not meet the usual requirements for immigration.

Some examples of situations where individuals might apply on H&C grounds include:

  1. Cases involving severe medical conditions where adequate treatment is not available in the individual’s home country.
  2. Cases involving risks to personal safety or security if the individual were to return to their home country, such as persecution or violence.
  3. Cases involving establishment and integration into Canadian society, such as long-term residency, strong community ties, and family connections.

For humanitarian and compassionate (H&C) grounds applications for permanent residency in Canada, here are the key points:

  • Applying on H&C grounds involves submitting a detailed application with supporting documents, including personal statements and letters of support to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) or Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
  • Supporting documentation is required to demonstrate the exceptional circumstances and reasons why the applicant should be granted special consideration. Showing that you or your family would experience excessive hardship if you were required to leave Canada.
  • Provide evidence of your establishment in Canada, such as family ties, community support, and contributions to Canadian society.
  • H&C applications are discretionary, meaning decisions are made on a case-by-case basis, considering all relevant factors and circumstances
  • Each application undergoes careful review, and decisions are based on humanitarian and compassionate considerations and there's no guarantee of approval.
