Good day!

Hi, i am a 20 years old Afgan who currently lives in Saudi Arabia with my family. I am the second youngest among 8 siblings in our family, and I'm also the least favored among all.

I constantly get bullied by some family members since I was young. I often get called "a piece of shit" by my family members. They still treat me differently from my other siblings until now which led me to feeling sad and unloved. It came to a point when I wanted to take my own life which thankfully I didn't end up doing.


5 months ago, I got to know a Filipina online. I started talking to her and I immediately felt the connection. She made me want to become a better person, and told me to stay away from suicidal thoughts. We fell in love and it's the best feeling I ever felt.


My problem is I belong in a strict Muslim family where we are not allowed to date, more so to date a foreign and non muslim woman who's also 6 years older than me. I kept my relationship a secret from my family because I know both of us will get harmed if they will find out.


They will never approve of our relationship and will probably send me back to Afganistan and/or immediately arrange my marriage to an Afghan woman. As much as I want to go with my girlfriend in the Philippines, I cannot as I am under my Father's kafala(sponsorship). I will not be able to go anywhere because the kafeel(sponsors) make the exit.


And my oldest sister who was arrange married against her will to a guy who was already having kids and has a wife.

He treats my sister and her children so bad that his 6 years old daughter hates him now, he beats them for no reason. One of the daughters got sexually harassed by her fathers brother and when she told him he didn’t take action about it and he even plans to arrange his oldest daughters marriage to his brothers son and she is only 15. He is forcing my sister to have a 6th baby although she was in a serious condition when she delivered the 5th baby he still insist to have a boy baby since his children are all girls. My sister and the children wants to run away from the husband but she can't do anything because of the sponsor system. he watches her every move, and she's scared of what he'll do if he will find out about her plan of leaving with the kids. family knows about her and the kids' situation, but they only tell her that that's their fate.


Please we need your help, if they sent us to Afghanistan then its all over because even the police can’t don’t anything in most of the places


I am writing this as we are interested to apply as an asylum/ refugee in your respective country. I am hoping for your assistance on this matter.


Thank you

You have zero chances of being granted asylum in Canada.

You can't claim asylum because your siblings used to call you names.

Your girlfriend can convert to your religion then you can both get married in saudi Arabia

So you would need to be recognized by the UNHCR in KSA or another country. They would arrange the relocation if they find you are a genuine refugee, and not necessarily Canada...or at all in fact. Or you would need to obtain a TRV to Canada and apply once here. The chances of including your “on-line” girl friend are zero. She’s not a family member or spouse, so until you actually made it to Canada, you can’t sponsor her until you are a recognized refugee and obtain a PR.....budget 5 years before you could even consider getting her to Canada. The chances of you obtaining a TRV from KSA are slim, as it’s not your home country. They would probably reject your claim ultimately as you could return to Afghanistan and avoid the family abuse. Realistically, based on your post, arranged marriage and family torment aren’t particularly strong grounds for an asylum claim and as previously mentioned, your chances at a successful claim is very low, assuming you even get here at all.
