Refugee and Humanitarian Resettlement & In-Canada Asylum Program

Refugees are people who cannot survive or sustain life in their parent country and have fled their country of origin due to adverse circumstances. Refugees are very different from immigrants as refugees ae forced to move out of their country and immigrants choose to move out of their country. Every year Canada grants PR Permanent Residence to approximately 30,000 refugees under a well scrutinized refugee protection process under below programs.

Refugee Programs in Canada:
  1. Refugee and Humanitarian Resettlement Program: For people applying from outside Canada
  2. In-Canada Asylum Program: For people seeking refugee status within Canada
Refugee and Humanitarian Resettlement Program

Convention Refugees are identified by United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) along with private sponsors for resettlement. The groups or private sponsors who have signed sponsorship agreement with Government of Canada to support refugees are called Sponsorship Agreement Holders. The Blended Visa Office-Referred Program(BVOR) match the identified refugees with these private sponsors to confirm refugee status. All resettlement cases are scrutinized in-depth to ensure avoiding issues relating to security, health or criminal history.

In-Canada Asylum Program

People who are in Canada and have had criminal history previously or who have been denied Refugee status previously are not eligible to apply for In-Canada Asylum Program. Refugee protection is provided to those who have well-founded fear of persecution or are at risk of cruel punishment or torture in their home country.
