Defining a Refugee in Canada:

Canada recognizes two primary categories for refugee protection:

Convention Refugees: This category includes individuals who are unable or unwilling to return to their home country or country of habitual residence due to a well-founded fear of persecution. The grounds for this fear include factors like race, religion, political opinion, nationality, or membership in a particular social group.

Persons in Need of Protection: This category applies to individuals already in Canada who face a substantial threat if they return to their home country. The dangers they face could include the risk of torture, a threat to their life, or the possibility of cruel and unusual treatment or punishment.

Both categories address the unique and dire situations individuals face, offering a pathway to safety and stability in Canada for those who meet the stringent criteria of a refugee claim.

Reasons that justify fear of persecution must include atleast one of the following factors:

• Race or nationality
• Religion
• Member of a particular social group
• Political opinion
• Risk to your life or cruel and inhuman treatment and Risk of torture
