Help friends in Syria seek refugee status in Canada

[shradzsaraf]

Hi Everyone,

I am here to ask everyone's help with the process of seeking refugee status for my dear Syrian friends living in Syria. I have read this link
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/refugees/outside/index.asphttp://www.cic.gc.ca/english/refugees/outside/index.asp .

What I want to know is What is the first step that my friends need to take in Syria?

How do they apply to be selected?

Though I have read everything on this link I am not able to find anywhere the first step: HOW TO APPLY?

I would be grateful for quick answers please.

God Bless All.

Thanks

The first step is to be recognized as a refugee by UNHCR or a similar referral organization recognized by CIC.

This must be done first before submitting any kind of application to CIC.

Hey Scylla thanks for your reply. So how will my friends be recognised as refugees? What do they need to do for that? I mean they are living in Syria and are living in a dangerous place right now. Is that enough to qualify as a refugee?

1. You should note that the friends have to be outside Syria to be recognized as refugees: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/refugees/outside/index.asp

Hi ,

Thanks for that information. Yes I did read that on the CIC website. Is there any way out of that problem?

Apart from leaving Syria - no.

They don't have to be registered with UNHCR , but they need to be outside Syria and preferably have a relative in here too.

Thank you everyone for all your help. The contact for North America for UNHCR is a very rude lady named Tereza Hadzic. When I asked her simple inquiries she replied very very rudely. How do such people get to work in such humanitarian agencies? Shame on that woman
