hi friends,

I'm from Pakistan and wants to seek asylum in Canada due to religious persecution. what kind of evidence do I need to make a successful claim in Canada.

following is the condition of the Pakistan:

In Pakistan, blasphemy laws are strictly enforced, with penalties ranging from fines to the death penalty for offenses such as insulting Islam or its prophets. While the state has not officially executed anyone for blasphemy, the mere accusation can lead to severe consequences, including mob violence and extrajudicial killings.

For instance, in a notable case, a 22-year-old student was sentenced to death for allegedly sharing blasphemous content via WhatsApp. Additionally, a court in Multan recently sentenced four individuals to death for posting sacrilegious content about Islamic figures on social media.

Beyond legal penalties, individuals accused of blasphemy often face vigilante justice. There have been numerous instances where those accused were killed by mobs or even by law enforcement officials. For example, a doctor accused of blasphemy was reportedly killed in a staged police encounter after surrendering to authorities.

Human rights organizations have raised concerns about the misuse of blasphemy laws in Pakistan, noting that they are often employed to persecute religious minorities or settle personal disputes. The European Union has also linked Pakistan’s favorable trade status to progress in human rights, including issues related to blasphemy laws.

while Pakistan’s legal framework includes the death penalty for blasphemy, and courts have handed down such sentences, the state has not carried out executions for this offense. However, accusations of blasphemy can and often do lead to severe extrajudicial actions, highlighting the contentious and dangerous nature of these laws within the country.

You want to show evidence that you yourself are being persecuted. So general evidence of blasphemy laws typically won't help your case. You would want to show that your yourself are facing charges / are being pursued by the state for blasphemy.

A law that applies to everyone in the country isn't discriminatory and not particularly good grounds for a claim. Keep in mind, you'd have the be in Canada before a claim can be submitted.

People aren’t going to do the wet work for you to do an asylum claim

Asylum claims are personal. On how YOU personally have been persecuted, not others .

As well you have to be here in Canada to make a claim

And why Canada ? All of Europe and India is closer than Canada

Islam is Indias second largest religion
Safety might be closer than you realize

The challenge is that you generally need to show that you yourself are being persecuted. General forward looking risk (things that could happen to you in the future) typically don't make for strong refugee cases.

I assume you are already in Canada? If so, get a consult with a Canadian immigration lawyer to discuss the strength of your case before you apply.
