Port of Entry claim. Eligibility interview.

[jenia2000]

Hi, I'm going to make a refugee claim at the port of entry. What will happen next? If anyone has applied for asylum at the POE, could you describe your experience, please.? I have read a lot of official information. But I want to know how things really are. Thank you!

Hello, everyone! I'm baffled with eligibility interview. If I make my refugee claim at the port of entry, will I be interview same day?

if you have safe third country exemption then it will take 4-5 hours at port of entry....you will be interviewed by officers which is basic questions like family members info in canada etc and will receive the brown paper and do biometrics there....easy and hassle free only if u have exemption

I'm coming not from US, and I'm going to make my claim at airport. Will it be an exemption?

do you have any family members in Canada?

 

[jenia2000]

No, I do not

then you dont have exemption....you will have to go through a lengthy process at airport. Nevertheless your eligibility interview wont be done at airport it will be taken later...which maybe even after a year

The asylum system is extremely overwhelmed. Would be prepared for long wait times for WP, hearings, limits on how much legal aid people will qualify for, etc. If you have any other options for economic immigration I would choose that.

I would choose economic immigration, but sadly i have to leave my country now.
