My partner is Egyptian, 19 years old, and has been experiencing mental and physical abuse from her parents because she decided to transition to another gender. This includes being forced to take antidepressants, mental abuse.. her parents have confiscated her phone and severely restrict her freedoms, disallowing her from many basic activities. She currently lives in a Gulf country (middle-east) and is planning to escape and seek asylum in a foreign country. Is there a way for her to seek asylum in Canada upon arrival at the airport’s transit area? Would that require a visa? Her passport has been confiscated by her parents, and she can only retrieve it on the day she escapes.
I would just like to know what the process could be like. Anything would help. Thank you.
