GLOBE IMMIGRATION

REFUGEES

Canada has been historically providing asylum for those people in need of protection. There are two types of Refugees as defined in the IRPA.

Convention Refugees – People who are outside of their country or habitual residence and have a well founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, political opinion, nationality or being a member of a particular social group.

If your fear is based on prosecution for a political opinion, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, or membership in a specific group and under the Convention against torture and unusual treatment and punishment, you may be granted a status of Refugee in Canada.

Persons in need of Protection:

If your life is at risk for reasons other than mentioned above and your are unable to obtain protection in your country of nationality or permanent residence.

Claims for protection are assessed on the base of their merits. Usually the nature of the claim is presented by way of written submissions and later heard at the Refugee Hearing with the Presiding Board Member of the IRB. It is very important to include all the relevant information and facts to your case and present it according to the IRB Rules.

Globe Immigration will assist you to prepare your BASIS OF CLAIM and REPRESENT you at your REFUGEE HEARING in a professional manner.

We will present all the available evidence that are relevant to your case as merits are only given to relevant information.

Many times Refugee Claimants think that they provide relevant information to the immigration officials, only to learn later that their case has been rejected on the basis that they do not fit any of the definitions of refugee. We have the knowledge and will present your case in front of the IRB when the time comes. We may have to call on witnesses and collect material evidence in order to prove your case to be legitimate.
