Convention Refugees

Convention Refugees are judged according to the United Nations Convention on Refugees. A refugee is a person who is outside his or her country of residence, and cannot return there for fear of persecution based upon that person's race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group. Refugees must attend a hearing to prove that they meet the definition of a Convention Refugee. Most refugees enter Canada as visitors, or come to Canada illegally (i.e. without a valid visa) and make their claims at the Canadian border. It is recommended that if you are contemplating a refugee claim, you should make the claim as soon as you enter the country.

Refugees can also be sponsored by groups of 5 persons or more, or they can be selected directly by the Government of Canada.
