Hello,
I am a genuine refugee since I left my home country in 1991. I have lived in refugee camps for many years in Kenya and survived hardships you can never begin to imagine.
After a couple of years in the refugee camp, I needed to acquire some education because I have never attended any schooling system in my home country. Since we as a family fled for our safety, we did not have any documents because all our properties we're burnt to ashes. Due to conflict between the locals nearby the refugee camps and refugees, the camps were burnt by the locals, people refugees killed and consequently the camps were closed and people were taken to other harsh refugee camps. I did not go and decided to stay in Mombasa. As a result, I faced a lot of police harrassment, beatings and torture due to lack of identity documents.
In short, An agent advised that I could get nationality after paying some money to someone and that's how I got my current nationality and because of this I managed to be enrolled in school and live freely but actually I am a refugee with a legitimate case.
I am planing to go to Canada for Masters and seek Asylum/refugee status when I enter Canada. Please advise if I can get refugee status by this method???? Need your advices please. Thanks.
