Hey folks

I am from sudan and managed to get student visa lately, I wanted to ask about the process applying for asylum at POE because things aren't good in my country because of the war.

Is the risk you face in Sudan because of your race, religion, nationality, political belief or membership in a particular social group (e.g. being LGBT+, being female, etc)?

If not, do you face any additional risks beyond what an ordinary civilian in Sudan face?

Refugee protection (asylum) requires falling into at least one of these two categories.

Make sure you gather all the evidence you can before you leave Sudan in order to make a refugee claim, you will not have to present the evidence at the airport when you claim asylum but you will need it to build and win your case. Read through this thoroughly https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/refugees/protection.html

Also read through this https://www.irb-cisr.gc.ca/en/refugee-claims/Pages/ClaDemGuideInstruct.aspx#:~:text=You can make a claim,Inland office (within Canada).

Use the search function in this forum to read about other peoples experiences of claiming asylum at the airport.

Good luck!

Unless actively participating in the civil war not sure anyone could say life in Sudan is safe for anyone living there.

Are you currently living in Sudan? Many are not so you would also have to show that you have no other safe options for example if you have residency elsewhere.
