What if my refugee claim is accepted?
You can stay in Canada and apply to become a permanent resident. You can also apply for permanent residence for your married or common-law partner, dependent children, and their dependent children.
You can lose your refugee protection and permanent resident status if you travel to your home country even for a short time, apply for a passport from there, travel using a passport from there, relocate there, buy a home, or start a business there. This can also happen if you get citizenship in a country other than Canada.
