 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.
