How do I make a refugee claim from inside Canada?
You make a refugee claim online in the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) portal. You answer questions about yourself and your refugee claim and upload your Basis of Claim form (BOC).
Your BOC is a very important document. In it, you explain what happened to you and what you fear in your home country. You must give correct and complete information.
Note: There’s a different process to make a refugee claim at a port-of-entry. And different rules if you’re coming from the United States.
