Asylum is granted in Canada to anyone who meets the definition of a Convention refugee, or who is a person in need of protection. The Refugee Protection Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board decides, once an officer has found the claim eligible.<\/p>\n
At a port of entry<\/strong> - airport, seaport or land border. You have an eligibility interview with a Canada Border Services Agency officer, you complete the package and you provide fingerprints and a photograph.<\/p>\n From within Canada<\/strong> - after your arrival, through a complete application accompanied by all supporting documents.<\/p>\n Entering irregularly, away from an official port of entry, leads to an apprehension and a thorough examination, including security and background checks. Nothing guarantees that you will be allowed to remain in Canada: if it is found that you do not need protection, removal proceedings are started.<\/p>\n We tell you frankly, before any step is taken, whether your situation falls within the definition. Where it does, we prepare the Basis of Claim Form, we gather the documentary evidence on the country of origin and we prepare you for the hearing.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" L\u2019asile est accord\u00e9 au Canada \u00e0 qui r\u00e9pond \u00e0 la d\u00e9finition de r\u00e9fugi\u00e9 au sens de la Convention, ou \u00e0 qui est une personne \u00e0 prot\u00e9ger.
