Hi Guys,
My parents came on a super visa to Canada and are here these days. They are facing persecution from back home. Proving the persecution is not a problem. The only dilemma is that i am unable to decided whether they should file for a refugee or not? will it be successful? anyone here who has done this before on a SUPER VISA and not a regular visit visa.
Please help :(

There's no difference in filing a refugee claim while here on a super visa vs. a regular visitor visa. The type visa is irrelevant. What matters is the nature of the claim and supporting evidence provided.

Thanks. I am just very worried.
What if the IRB member says that since u r on super visa u can exit and enter the country again after 2 yrs. Why r u filing for refugee then. The thing is super visa is a temporary status at the end of the day. I also know that once a refugee claim is denied u r deported and forever barred from entering canada unless u get an ARC. The whole situation is very worrying.
Do u know of any successful refugee claimants who came thru super visa?

Again, the fact they are on a super visa is irrelevant. What matters is the strength of their refugee claim - meaning proving they meet the criteria and can support this through hard evidence.

I don't believe there are any statistics available for refugee claimant success based on the visa type.

Would suggest consulting with a few immigration lawyers about their evidence of persecution before deciding how to proceed. Filing for asylum has lifelong consequences if refused so all other options should be considered before applying.

There is no fast way to get a visa. If you want to claim asylum in Canada, you will need to obtain a TRV (tourist visa), travel to Canada and then claim asylum once you arrive. To get a TRV approved, you must show that you have strong ties to your home country (e.g. job, property, other assets) and that you have no plans on remaining in Canada long term. You must also show that you have enough savings to pay for your trip. Information on how to apply for a TRV is here:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/visa.asp

Once you apply for a TRV, it takes anywhere from a few weeks to several months to find out if you are approved or refused.

If you are in danger now, the best option would be to leave your home country and relocate to another country. Once you are there, get in contact with UNHCR and be officially declared as a refugee. UNHCR will then decide where you will be permanently resettled (to which country).

Always want to clarify that most refugees are not resettitled and remain in the country where they have fled to.

whats the ratio of appproval
Read through the posts above. The type of visa doesn't matter. What matters is the strength of the refugee claim and the evidence to support that refugee claim.

There are no statistics available on super visa refugee claims.

you need very strong evidence that your life is in danger in order to be approved.
Every case is different
Where are you from?
