Nothing indicates that those refugees are political "pocker play" They feel hopeless, and that is the worst feeling of all. It has NOTHING to do with entitlement! When you are striving to survive, you are still living, and there's hope that things can can better, it's the stagnation and...

Just out of curiosity, how did you acquire your German Citizenship if you were born in Iraq and actually living in Iraq? Are any of your 2 or both of your parents German?

There is nothing in your post that indicates that the lady is a victim of persecution as per the definition of conventional refugee. All you have told us is that her brother was killed by robbers and her husband divorced her. None of this amount to a well-founded fear of persecution. In the...

Very unlikely ... this isn't a criminal case investigation They will just use the evidences that were presented at the hearing. And you weren't at the hearing as a witness.

OP, I agree with scylla that natural disaster isn't a ground of refugee claim. In addition to that, what strikes me in your post is the fact that you have been in Canada for 2 months. If your asylum claim case will be based on issues (persecutions) that arise before you enter Canada, then you...

Hey OP, Yes, he can still get refugee status in Canada. However, as indicated by Scylla earlier in this post, mandatory military service is not accepted as grounds for a refugee claim. Being prosecuted for failing to comply with mandatory military service is not generally considered...

Good Job to you Scylla for keeping the forum active. It is unfortunate that some people would use the refugee route to bypass immigration process to move to Canada. Fortunately, the IRB has become more diligent in deterring false asylum claims. Should someone make up evidences to support his...

I know someone who had claimed refugee status at the US/Canada border in September 2013. He had received his permanent residence status in April 2015. If I were you, the first thing I would do is to contact the IRB by myself instead of calling the lawyer. Have you moved? Were there anything...

OP, There are documentary evidence showing in Sri Lanka gay people are now becoming more open in their behaviour. In case you decide to come to Canada to claim asylum, be prepared to explain why you didn't seek support from the gay community in Sri Lanka but you choose to flee to Canada...

Bro, feel free to ask any question you have. Please don't feel intimidated given that it is your future that is at stake here. Okay, there is a well-established principle to the effect that any person having a well-founded fear of persecution should claim refugee protection in Canada as soon...

OP, YOu have to tell the immigration officer that you want to make a claim for asylum before you even handle them your passport. So, when they ask you for ID, then you can handle them your passport. I will get back to you later to address the other issues you have raised.

If you are coming to Canada with the intention of applying for refugee Status, then I would advise you to do so at the Point of entry (airport). The reason I am saying this is because if you want to use your visa to enter Canada first and then apply for refugee status, and if for some reason...

If you had already submitted the sponsorship application for your child, his age has been locked to how old he was when the application was received by the immigration. If he is 19 and you hadn't submitted the application, he still qualify as a dependent given that 19 is the age limit.

Thank you very much
