After obtaining citizenship, can a previous refugee return to their home country? Or renew their home country passport?

You risk having your Canadian citizenship revoked if you are successfully charged with citizenship fraud and found guilty of breaking the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

I know many people got back to home country and no one questioned them (they were refugee claimants), it is confusing that they question some people while they don't for some!

Hi friend,

Did you call IRCC, what did they say and were you able to remove the tag?

All the best to you!

They can run into problems years later when applying for citizenship.

I have been reading comments on here before i went back to home my country because i was a former refugee. I did not go to back to my home country until i got citizenship. I went home to visit my family and came back to Canada after 2 months. The immigration officer said i have to call IRRC and asked them to remove my former refugee status on file so i don’t have to go through immigration when i come back to Canada. Also immigration officer said it doesn’t matter for them anymore because i'm a Canadian citizen. No one can deny you to enter to your country as a Canadian citizen. Life experience.

Good day John.
I know this comment was a long time ago, but I wanted to ask if you did contact the IRRC and what did they say about the change of status. Thanks

My lawyer cleared me to go back home, as long as your claim is legit and sincere, you won't be at risk of getting your citizenship revoked.

Your lawyer is lying to you and does not speak for IRCC. Nobody can guarantee that you won’t face cessation if traveling to your home country or renewing your home country passport while a protected person. It is a huge risk. Travel when you are a Canadian citizen.

u can travel back home not as protected person but as Canadian citizen. Obviously you must use Canadian passport and not renew passport from home country
