Refugee claims in Canada

Are you afraid to return to your home country? You may be able to get refugee protection in Canada.

There are rules about who can make a refugee claim and who can be accepted as a refugee. For example, if you:

  • entered Canada on a date after June 24, 2020, you must make your refugee claim before one year passes
  • get a removal order, you cannot make a refugee claim in Canada

And if you wait too long to make a refugee claim, it might seem like you’re not really afraid.

You should get legal advice as soon as possible.
