Canada is known globally for its commitment to human rights and humanitarian values. Through its refugee protection system, Canada offers safety and a fresh start to individuals who are fleeing persecution, war, or violence in their home countries. If you fear for your life or freedom due to race, religion, political opinion, nationality, or membership in a particular social group, you may be eligible to seek asylum under Canadian law.

Refugee protection claims can be made either at a port of entry (such as an airport or land border) or from within Canada. Once a claim is submitted, it is reviewed by the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB), which assesses whether the claimant qualifies as a Convention Refugee or a person in need of protection.

Navigating this process can be overwhelming, especially during a time of uncertainty and personal hardship. That’s where Gillani Legal Services comes in.
