Claim Refugee Status – Elegant Immigration Services

Canada offers protection to people who fear persecution or who would face serious risk if returned to their home country. A refugee claim made in Canada is decided by the Refugee Protection Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB). A well-prepared claim, supported by a clear narrative and strong evidence, makes a real difference at the hearing.

Who is this for?

People in Canada with a well-founded fear of persecution because of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group
People who face a risk of torture, a risk to their life, or cruel and unusual treatment or punishment in their home country
Claimants whose case is already in progress and who need help preparing for their hearing
