Hey Morning,
Yes, you can apply for asylum as a gay couple, you ask is is the right thing to do? i say do what is best for you however i think everyon here will tell you this process is LONG its is stressful is hurts its dressing it will make you wanna go crazy, the process is curretly 22 month for competition but there are people here waiting for 26 months and counting just to get PR and you cannot go back to your country until you become cnadian citizen, you can travel other countries but most will require a visa as you are not allowed to use your passport from the country you filed asylum.
now all that i explained is the process of PR not the aysym process you have to be a protected person b4 you can apply for PR.
i say just as i said to my friend last week , if you can do EE then do it because this refugee route is the worst and if you are not strong it will literally make you think the worst of life.
also yes they will ask why did you not apply b4 now but i am sure you will have a good answer for that so if that is the only reason you are doubting it then go for it. also b sure to have proof that your life is at risk if you return home, not general risk but you have been impacted by this your life is at risk ETC they do ot wanna see news paper articles they want to see things like people tried to hurt you, or messages from family member not accepting you police report you filed, pictures and videos of you doing gay stuff messages from same sex ETC it will not be easy.
First, you must have extensive Documentation on how your life is impossible in your country and your life is directly threatened. no newspapers, documentaries or other general material.
This MUST be specific police reports, doctors’ records etc. Then are you sure there is NOWHERE in your country where you will be safe. Also, Asylum is not for bad conditions, better schooling or medical care, or too few jobs or a pushy government. NONE of these will be accepted!! Finally, One way is to get to Canada and claim..., almost impossible. The other is to leave your country apply to the UNHCR as a refugee and wait. You may not be sent to Canada, however. Better to go to school get advanced degrees and diplomas and try that way. Very few, very, very few are accepted for Asylum.
Yes, your parents can come if they have a visa but will not geta s second one if it expires until you are PR and it will not affect anything on your application if they visit you.
also you can start traveling once you are a protected person just get an RTD and then Visa for the country you are going to...
Good Luck
