@Jambol is right

If IRB determined you to be a person in need of protection or a Convention refugee or if you received a positive decision on your Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) from IRCC, you are a Protected Person and may apply for permanent residence with this application.

Hi @ibrahim0175,

Let's say you can apply for a refugee claim without withdrawing your H&C application (but I think you need to withdraw it first).
You'll need a very good explanation for a question ; "why did you not claim when you arrived in Canada (at a port of entry)?" unless there's a very recent change in the situation in your country.

Good luck!

Did you participate in the protests? Unless person applying had participated in protests and is being persecuted because of this it isn’t a reason for an asylum claim.

What do you mean I am not eligible?they are not caring who have participated and who havent,they are not even sparing small kids who were playing in their home at that time,just killing people randomly,just the fact that your political opinion doesnt match with their political opinion is sufficient for you to being killed….

I would recommend sticking with the H&C application and not submitting the refugee claim unless the individual applying was directly involved in the protests and is being sought by police or similar. Good luck.
