Refugee Claim in Canada–Protection When You Need It Most

Feeling danger in your home country? We are here to protect your future. At GBWS, we provide professional, compassionate, and strategic representation to help you navigate the complex refugee protection process with confidence.

Understanding a Refugee Claim in Canada?

The refugee’s claim in Canada is a petition to the Canadian Government. Individuals assert a right to a refuge for protection against harm or persecution in their native land. You may qualify if you fear persecution due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group; face risk of torture, or face risk to life or cruel and unusual treatment or punishment. A refugee claim is not just paperwork; it is your chance to rebuild your life in safety. At GBWS, we ensure your case is prepared with accuracy, strong evidence, and a compelling narrative.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I allowed to work in Canada while my claim is pending?

Yes, once we have confirmed your eligibility through IRCC or CBSA, you can apply for a work permit and work in Canada while your claim is being processed. You will always know exactly where you stand.

What are my options if my refugee claim gets refused?

Just because your claim is refused does not mean all doors are closed. You can still consider an appeal to the RPD, a Judicial Review in Federal Court, a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment, or a Humanitarian and Compassionate claim. We’ll discuss all your options immediately.

Can I include my family members in my refugee claim?

Yes, you can include your spouse and dependent children who are accompanying you in Canada. In our initial consultation, we discuss your entire situation and make a recommendation that is best for all parties concerned.

What if I do not have all my documents ready before filing?

You are not alone in this situation. Many claimants face a similar situation. The IRB recognizes that you may not have all your documents ready when you file your claim because you had to leave your home in a hurry. All you have to do is make an honest effort to obtain all your documents and present your situation in a way that is most effective.
