Please i need an answer for this situation

[syrian-g]

Dear all,

A Syrian family of four ,husband and wife with two kids, have contacted me asking this question .

The family entered USA through Mexico , and claimed asylum .
Their asylum was denied due to an error between the lawyer and the judge. The judge didn't allow an appeal for this case . The family has "without holding " status , only the husband is allowed to work . The wife has an uncle in Canada , her father's brother. The passports are at the Mexican/ US border .

Do you guys think she can claim refugee at the Canadian/ US borders ?

in my opinion yes....if the lady has a real uncle they can claim at the border

 

[syrian-g]

More opinions please guys

No, If person applied for refugee in US = cannot apply for refugee in Canada (there are exceptions).
The Safe Third Country Agreement between Canada and the United States (U.S.) is part of the U.S.–Canada Smart Border Action Plan.
Under the Agreement, refugee claimants are required to request refugee protection in the first safe country they arrive in, unless they qualify for an exception to the Agreement.

P.s. No law in US when person cannot appeal immigration claim except fraud...and etc/

hey Syrian-g how you doing..long time no seen

Syrian-g i know a recent example in which a family who was denied asylum in usa (they lived in USA for about 2 years) and they claimed their asylum again at US-Canada Border. its about 6,7 months now and they had got accepted as refugees in Canada and now in process of their PR status. They were really in a situation where they cud not go back to their country ( in all means they were genuine people seeking refugee but got denial from USA)

About the relationship in Canada:
if any of the following relative is present in canada (either of the husband or the wife):-
Uncle: (brother of father or mother)
Aunt: (Sister of father or mother)
nephew and niece : (son/daughter of above)
Grandparents,
parents,
Brother
sister
mother
father.

So if the husband or wife have any of the above relatives in Canada then they are forsure eligible to apply for refugee protection at the US-Can Border.

Hope it helps

Hello,

I am not sure about your first question but for the OHIP here is a link I found about healthcare for Syrian refugees. http: //settlement. org/ontario/health/refugee-health/refugee-health-services/health-care-options-for-syrian-refugees/ and http: //lifelinesyria. ca/medical-resources-for-sponsors/.
