Complicated case, International student Refugee claimant, rejected!

[OPatriots]

Hello there,
My friend came to Canada in 2008, as an international student. applied for SINP in end of 2012 and got the nomination in January 2013, but it was withdrawn because he didn't switch his study permit to a work visa and work (he was still going to school and wanted to go to school and work but he didnt inquire good enough on how to do both, and got a couple of injuries that didn't allow him to work), so the nomination got withdrawn from him in november 2013. He has issues with his father at his country of origin (Jordan) and fears for his life if he returns (since his father murdered his older brother because of having different life mentality). My friend lost his passport in 2013, hasnt applied for a replacement as he is scared for his life, and didnt to even consider going back. he applied for refugee, (then started working and still is), but got rejected. he appealed then got dismissed. he received the dismissal in the beginning of January 2017.

Please advise what can he do and what will be the next step.
Also please feel free to ask anything

You'll need to follow the process for appealing your refugee refusal. See the link below. Note that you have limited time to apply for the appeal.

Ah - my bad. I see you've already appealed and been refused the appeal. Have you already gone to the Federal Court appeal stage and been refused/dismissed?

 

[OPatriots]

no he hasnt applied to federal. he asked lawyers and said it will cost 5000$ to start the process and its a very slim chance to succeed if any, and another 5000 to continue if the appeal is granted.

As I see it, his only options are to go the federal route or leave Canada.

 

[OPatriots]

leaving is not an option. can he do the federal route on his own without a lawyer? he cant afford one. would writing an MP for aid an option?

 

[scylla]

You can't do it without a lawyer. Per the CIC web site: "A lawyer must apply for judicial review on your behalf."

I'm not sure an MP can help. I guess you could try going to your local legal aid clinic to see if they can help.

Leaving may end up being a forced option if the federal appeal is refused.

what if he went to the US border?

what if he went to the US border?

For what purpose?

what if he went to the US border?

You can't claim asylum in the US due to the Safe Third Party Agreement. Entering the US is not an option.
