Pursuant to its International humanitarian obligations, every year Canada accepts thousands of refugees who are forced to leave their home country and cannot return home, requiring international protection. Canada offers two different pathways for refugees and asylum seekers: the Refugee and Humanitarian Resettlement Program or the In-Canada Asylum Program.


Refugee and Humanitarian Resettlement Program


You cannot directly apply as a refugee and must be referred by either the United Nations Refugee Agency, a designated referral organization, or a private sponsorship group. There are many different paths to being sponsored depending on your unique situation.


In-Canada Asylum/Refugee Protection Program


You may also seek refugee protection if you are already in Canada or have a visa to travel to Canada and can meet certain requirements.

What if Your Refugee Claim or Resettlement Application is Refused?

If your claim for refugee protection is refused we can assist with an appeal to the Refugee Appeal Division and/or the Federal Court of Canada.
