Hi,
I have read some of the topics from the forum and I am very thankful to the guys who are spending time to answer questions.
I am from Bakward area where my family had serious concerns in living and getting education. Due to War, My family shifted to a good city for living and good education. However, Group XXXXXX killed our near relatives at their door step because they refused to give them the ransom. The group killed 4 people and they are now after me and family. Since I am educated and well earning person. I have not allowed my wife and kids to leave home. I am in severe danger of persecution and the only way I may live is to apply for asylum. I got TRV & I am in Canada right now and landed 1 day ago on TRV.
I have some questions and would like confirmation and suggestion on my understanding about Asylum.
Question 0: Since I used to work for a company in UAE from my homeland, I had a two year Valid IQAMA / Residence Visa. I worked for that company part time and I was doiong full time job in my homeland. I travelled 5 or 6 times for a week to UAE on that Iqama / Residence visa But I never stayed there for more than a week every time. I came back to work on my homeland company that I was working in. The Iqama/Residence visa of UAE company will expire/finish on February 2018. Am I allowed to apply for Asylum case ? If yes, Do I need any Police Character Certificate from Dubai?
Question 1: As per my understanding People who are outside Canada and their home country will be privately sponsored refuees. Since I am in Canada, I will be under Government Assisted refugee system and Government will be taking care of my Food/Living/Medical. I am asking this question because I was confused in the following refugee systems:
Government Assisted Refugees
Privately Sponsored Refugees
Protected Person and Convetion Refugees
Question 2: Should I hire my own lawyer OR Government will take care of my Lawyer charges ? What is the best option for me to follow to make my case stronger.
Question 3: Please tell if I live with my friend and I bear my own expenses for food/living etc.. Would that make any positive impact/difference on my Asylum case ?
Question 4: Is it true that Employers are a bit hesitant hiring you when you are on asylum/protected status ? Also confirm that if I am granted work permit, I can do any legal job while living/staying in any part of Canada?
Question 5: I know it is not a good idea to leave Canada when you are on Asylum or granted PR. But please confirm that if someone is allowed to leave Canada to visit any other country or one's homeland after he/she is granted Citizenship. Is there any issue if someone is granted Citizenship after 8 or 9 or 10 years of Asylum and he visits his/her homeland for like a month and come back?
Question 6: At what stage of Asylum I am eligible to get my depandant/myfamily to Canada ? Also please tell whether they will be allowed to visit homeland ? or they will be bound till Citizenship ?
Question 7: I have two options to live in. Where should I apply for Asylum case ? Saskatchewan OR Toronoto ? Does that make any difference if I apply in Saskatchewan ? I have seen people mentioning that Saskatchewan process is faster than the Toronto.
Question 8: I would highly appreciate if you could add any other suggestions for me ?
Thank you very much for your time.
