Hi dears, first thank you very much for this great form!
I’m in my home country (one of the most danger countries in the world) and I had thread recently which is making me hiding right now from groups of ppl, I have a Canadian visa and thinking about seeking asylum in Canada, I’ve seen great info here ..really valuable but I still have the flowing questions:
Please correct me as required!
Lawyer:
First I will book a hotel, then I will search for lawyer … shall I pay him or I can receive legal aid? Or paying only advice fees maybe then at a later stage I deserve legal aid? Several governments website said asylum claimant deserves the legal aid as they applied at POE, so it’s not clear for me.
Housing:
I will rent apartment myself, I heard that I deserve housing benefit, how this benefit calculated? Are they giving a specific amount of money? Which I might add to and rent? Shall I got a letter certification and use it to rent? or they provide the accommodation by themselves? How does it work?
Work:
I’m qualified to go through the Skilled worker program but unfortunately, I don’t have time to go for it now as I need to leave asap so I really have good chances to have a job can I apply for a work permit directly even before the hearing?
EU-residency
I have an EU residence permit (valid) but it’s temporarily and subjected to specific conditions which are about to dismiss but it still allows me to go to EU.
Do you think there is a possibility that they reject me depending on that basis? I mean they say you should go to EU instead of Canada as you still have a valid permit? Or they will understand that I can’t keep that permit for the more years before I can be permanent residence?
Where to apply:
At the POE or within Canada?
Any possibility that they send me to EU if I applied at the POE as I have the above residence permit? And what would change if I do it at the POE?
My destination will be Ontario….I really appreciate any advice/correction/comment….
Maybe it’s possible to send a message to one of the experts with more details?
Thank you in advance!
