Greetings.
I am Victor Gonzalez and I was born in Venezuela, I’m today writing this up to fulfill the task of getting information about any kind of national programs to take
humanitarian asylum in canada, because of the unstable situation we are living now here in Venezuela, not to mention the absence of citizen security and the precarious economy we have.
We are going through a critical situation where important shortage of food exists, so the government had to come to an agreement with the republic of Colombia, so the Venezuelan could be provided with supplies, not content with that, we are living in a constant alert state because the delinquency had taken the streets, there is no opportunity of getting an stable job, or if there were one, it is an bad payed one considering the hyperinflation we are going through, on the other hand the absence of medicines and medical supplies is a worrying issue, because there is no medicines nor for a common flu neither for an anaphylactic stroke, about the food, if you are lucky enough, you can eat 3 times a day.

Due all the concerns this means for me and my integral safety, I have decided addressing you in this issue and I would be glad if you answer all these questions I am writing below:
1. Do I need to be in Canada for getting humanitarian asylum?
2. (in case the answer is no) Do I have to pay the passage way to Canada or the institution would take care of that?
3. Are there any possibilities of working In Canada while the process of the request for asylum is taking place?
4. (In case of sustenance while the process) Is any payment needed for the institution?
5. (in case of paying sustenance) In which way does the payments have to take place?
6. Does the formalities means any kind of costs?
7. How does that payments for the formalities would be done?
Nothing else to say, I appreciate your answers.

Have a nice day.
 
1. Humanitarian (H&C) and asylum are two completely different things. For H&C you must be in Canada to apply. For asylum, you can be either in Canada or outside of Canada. To apply from outside of Canada, you would need to first move outside of Venezuela and then be recognized as a refugee by UNHCR or a similar referral organization.

For answers to the rest of your questions you should move over to the Refugee / Asylum section of the forum.
