REFUGEE PROGRAM

Immigration and Refugee protection law was modified on June 28th, 2002. This was a major reform of the Canadian immigration practices. The objective of the law is to ensure proper protection for people in need of humanitarian aid.

Refugees are people in Canada or abroad who fear to return to their home country or that of their permanent residency. Canada will protect those refugees persecuted because of their:

  • Race
  • Religion
  • Nationality
  • Political opinion
  • Belonging to a social group

Canada has signed the United Nations Geneva Convention relating to the status of refugees. This convention protects refugees from being returned to a country where they would face persecution

Our consultants, at GMTCanada International, have developed a solid expertise in refugee-immigration law. Our clients rely on our professionalism to claim their refugee status with a guarantee of a total commitment from our consultants to preparing and defending their case. Our successes attest to our quality of service.

Canadian refugee protection system is divided in two major parts:

  1. The refugee settlement program intended to help refugees abroad re-establish in Canada
  2. Asylum in Canada for people in need of protection. The asylum can be sought at a Canadian port of entry or at a Canada Immigration and Citizenship office.

There are no average durations for refugee claims to be processed.
